produced in one single season by d
single manufacturer.
In June the Overland announced a
four cylinder touring car to sell for
$3.50. The influx of orders covering
this model alone has been the great
est in the history of the Toledo con-
Germ
Four weeks ago the Willys-Knight
car was announced for $1O95 This
| is the lowest priced sleeve-valve-
motored car ever put on the market
by any manufacturer in this coun-
try or abroad.
six" at $1145, the Overland has
completed a trio of models which to
all intents and purposes practically
blankets the moderate price market.
This latest addition to the Overland
family is known as Model Sc. In
consideration of thee price probably
the most conspicuous advantage Of
this new car is it's size.
The remarkably low price for so
b. seven passenger touring car
is Il . direct result of the quantity
production methods now in vogue at
the Overland factory. The extern
sive manufacturing facilities of the
Toledo concern enable them to put
the. maximum of quality and com
fort in their product at minimum
price. This applies particularly to
the Six" as this model is produced
in the single body design only, which
nary opportunity for complete stand
ardizatiOn.
The exterior of the car denotes
character and stability in every
line. The long, sweeping curves Of
the streamline body give it grace
and poise that is usually found in
cars selling at a much higher price.
From the radiator to the full belled
tonneau back, there is not a break
in the design to mar the narnral
contour of the body.
The long wheelbase of 125 inches
adds much to the easy riding quail
ties of the car. The exceptional
length will be appreciated by any
one who has experienced the pleas
ure of touring in a car of ample
Wheelbase
The large, rOomy body with its
two extra seats, can easily accom-
modate seven adults. The seats
have high comfortable backs, while
the seat cushions are built on deep
coilad springs. The upholstery
throughout is of the finest grade of
genuine leather.
The cylinders of the motor are
cast en- bloc. With a bore of 312
inches and a stroke of 81 inches, the
motor will easily develop As horse
power at normal engine speeds.
The oiling system is combination

splash. The oil is fed under pressure
to the crank shaft and cam shalt
bearings and to the three quiet he'll
ical timing gears.
Cooling is by a circulating pump.
The radiator is of the Overland
cellular type with vertical circula-
ton. The radiator shell is pressed
from single sheet of steel as in
all other Overland models and is
supported by swivel trunnions.
A vacuum gasoline tank under the
hood insures an even, positive flow
of gasoline to the carburetor, which
is of an improved type, with hot
air attachment.
Ignition is furnished by high ten
sion magnetic as in last years model.
No batteries are required. The mag
neto is entirely independent of the
electric starting and lighting sys-
tenn which is of the two-unit type.
The transmission is of the selec-
tive sliding gear type with three
speeds forward and reverse. The
gears themselves are nickel steel,
double heat treated and of the stub
tooth type.
The front and rear axles remain
the same as last seasOn-the 1-beam
section type in front and full floating
type in rear. The brakes are large
and powerful, with a braking surface
ample for a much heavier car. The
front springs are seml-elllptlc, SO
inches long by inches wide. The
rear springs are three-quarter clip
tic, so inches by inches and are
slung under the axle in swivel seats.
Left hand drive and center con-
troll facilitate driving, While the
electric control buttons are located
on the steering column where they
are most convenient for use. All in
dicating devices are conveniently ar
ranged on the coWl dash instrument
board. Pedals are adjustable for
