NEW OVERLAND
IS ANNOUNCED

! Like thunderbolt out of clear sky /
has come the announcement of a new
model By The WHY'S Overland Com
pany, of Toledo, Ohio, which is des-
i tined. in the opinion of those who have
| already seen it, to cause "a greater stir |
in automobile circles than any of the
/ many sensational developments in mo- |
tor car building which have occurred |
during recent years. The most power |
full low priced car in the world is the |
description given of this new product |
/ of the great Toledo factory and it is !
to be known technically as The Over |
land new series model 75B In spite of
the nation wide lamentations concern
ing the increasing cost of materials,
labor and manufacturing equipment,
this latest motor vehicle which is to
be sold at $685. for the touring car and
$500 for the roadster-prices which are
said to be equally as sensational as
the performance of the car itself.
The model 75B Overland naturally
bases its claims to being the most
powerful low priced car in the world
/ on its motor and on the exhaustive
tests, which its builders insist have
shown conclusively its superiority
over anything of its kind ever manu-
featured heretofore With larger
bore now 3 3-S inches and a inch
stroke. it develops 81 1-2 horsepower
at 1850 revolutions per minute. This
performance, at this low speed, in the
opinions of those expert in automobile
building. promises the greatest pos
sible power from the motor, with the
smallest amount of wear on the motor
itself. Like a flash, this amazing
motor will take the car IL miles an
hour to SO miles an hour, on high,
with all the ease of action so widely
advertised in the big, powerful ma
chimes selling at five and six times its
list price.
The low price of the new car natur-
ally implies economy, but the WHY'S
Overland officials show that, unlike
many other instances of low priced
cars the economy does not end with
the purchase price And here again
the efficiency of that wonder motor
as the Overland officials refer to it, is
| demonstrated. Tests have repeatedly
proven that this sensational car vii

i all-around use.
1t is equipped with four inch tires
something practically unheard of up t
now in cars of this type. The cas-!
| riding qualities of the car are en-
HANGED by cantilever rear springs.
