93 Miles of Auto Figures From Toledo Factory
Willys Overland of Toledo reports an annual output of 40,000 cars. If laid end to end the 148 inch overall length would exceed 93 miles, longer than Toledo to Detroit. A one mile apart line would stretch 40,000 miles, over one and three fifths times around the world. A 60 foot freight train could cover over 126 miles. The 1913 output is valued above 40 million dollars, a sum few multimillionaires could pay in cash.
