nounced gives the WHY'S Overland
Company what is probably the great
est selling combination of cars ever
produced in one single season by
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 greatest
in the history OF the Toledo concern.
Four weeks ago the Willys-Knight
car was announced for S1.O95, This
IS the lowest priced sleeve Valve-mo-
tored car ever put on the market by
any manufacturer In this country or
abroad,
With the announcement of the six"
at S1146, the Overland has completed
O trio OF models which to all intents
and purposes practically blankets the
moderate price market. This latest
addition to the Overland family is
of the price probably the most con-
splcuous advantage of this new car is
its size
The remarkably low price for so
big q pen-pasSenger touring car is
the direct result of the quantity pro-
duction methods now In vogue at the
Overland factory. The extensive
manufacturing facilities of the Toledo
concern enable them TO put the maxi
mum of quality and comfort in their
product at minimum price. This ap-
plies particularly to the Six as this
model is produced in the single body
design only, which allows the COM
pany an extraordinary opportunity for
complete Standardization
The exterior of the car denotes char
acter and stability in every line. The
long, sweeping curves of the stream
line body give it grace and poise that
is usually found in cars selling at a
much higher price. From the radi-
tor to the full belled tonneau back,
there is not break in the design to
mar the natural 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 anyone
who has experienced the pleasure of
touring in car of ample wheelbase.

two extra seats, can easily accommo-
date seven adults The seats have high
comfortable backs, while the seat
cushions are built on deep coiled
springs. The upholstery throughout is
of the finest grade of genuine leather.
