    Hope this is not too OT (backwards)...
    My Uncle is looking a buying a 1929 Willy's Knight 70B four door.
    He is needing the overall length and width to see if it will fit in a 16' enclosed car trailer.
    I have searched the internet with no results..
    Any help?
    Thanks...
     
  2. The wheelbase is 112 inches. Add a couple of feet for bumpers and you're at 12 or 13 feet
    BTW, the car never belonged to a guy named Willy. It is a Willys Knight. And, contrary to what 99% of people will tell you, it is pronounced "Willis"

    if there was a problem, the car could be "shortened" by removing the bumpers........bring tools

    Thanks much....you are obviously a purist.. Good for you :)
    I guess having owned over ~20 old Willys Jeeps (newest being a 1953) I just ***umed the name was the same..
    I will inform my Uncle also...
    Cheers...
