AS the model is offered only in the
single body design. the company has an
extraordinary opportunity for complet te
standardization. This fact and the tre-
mendOus production of the big Toledo
factory explain the remarkably low price
at which the car Is listed.
Car Seats Seven.
Electrically lighted . and started, and
completely equipped in every respect
the car sells for 81, AS. The list of equip
ments is unusually long, including a two
unit electric seif-starter; electric front,
side. rear and dash lights: built-in wind

tools, tire repair kit, Jack and pump.
Tires are 35X4 L. inches with nonskid on

4 long wheel base Of 125 inches has
given the Overland engineers ample room
for developing a large touring body
which. with its two extra seats, fur
nishes comfortable seating capacity for
seven adults. The deep upholstery is of
the finest grade of long grain hand
buffed leather. of a bright French finish
over resilient springs and soft Curled
hair.
Concealed door handles and hinges
leave the exterior Of the car perfectly
smooth. There are large leather pockets
on the inside OF each of the doors. which
are unusually wide. The body is paint
ed an attractive royal blue, accentuated
by hair-line stripes of ivory white
The proportion OF power TO weight
gives a great surplus over that neces-
sary to care for all emergencies OF road
driving. With a bore Of 3 I-2 inches and
a stroke of IA inches, the motor de
velops fOTty-five or more horsepower, at
a normal engine speed. Exhaustive road
tests to which the car has been sub
jected, show the motor to be smooth
running, silent, flexible and economical
Cylinders en- Bloc.
The cylinders are cast en- bloc with
the cylinder head detachable as unit:
exposing cylinders, pistons, valves and
valve chambers. The upper half OF the
crank case, which carries the Crankshaft,
is an integral part of the cylinder cast
ing.
An oilinE system of the constant level
splash type. furnishes fabrication fully
and dcpendably for all conditions of
service Oil is fed under pressure to the
main crankshaft bearings and a pres
sure gauge is installed on the cowl dash
instrument board.
Ignition is furnished by a high ten
sion magnetic of the most advanced type.
No batteries are required. The magnetic
is entirely independent OF the electric
starting and lighting system. The crank
ing motor and the generator are sepa-
rate units and occupy positions on oppo-
site sides of the engine. Because with
the two unit systems the motor is used
only for starting, 1t is very powerful,
revolving at 1LSS times the speed Of the
crankshaft, and is capable of turning
over the engine at about 40 revolutions
per minute. The entire electrical system
Is essentially simple in design. being of
the slx-volt single wire type.
The gearset, Of a selective, sliding-gear
type, gives three speeds forward and re-
verse. Although it is Of the same general
construction as that used for the four
cylinder Overlands. this transmission has |
been specially designed for the six
chassis having larger bearings and q pro- '
