Originality and distinctiveness furs
nish the keynote for the latest prod
uct of the WHY'S Overland company
of Toledo. Ohio-tLe Country Club, a
smart four passenger sport model, at
S6s5 t. o. b. Toledo.
The Country Club is the only sport
model in the small car class and bids
fair to be one of the greatest successes
of the season.
Heretofore sport model" has been
associated with high price," but in
the new car the Willys-Overland COM
pany offers model of marked dis
tinction, at an unusually low figure.
The outstanding feature of the
Country Club is its unusual body de-
sign, which gives it compact GUS
tom built appearance. This is
strengthened by color scheme of rich
gray for the body. long-grained up
holstery and mohair top. The slop-
ing windshield lends added smartness.
Tenders and trimmings are lus-
trous- black. Red wire wheels add a
touch of brilliant color, further ac-
centuated by an occasional flash of
nickel and polished aluminium.
The seating arrangements are
equally distinctive. In front are two
comfortable chairs which move inde-
pendently forward or back to the
length best suited for the driver and
his companion.
Tie wide aisle that divides the
front seats makes the rear compart-
ment easy of access.
\ roomy, comfortable rear seat for
two is close up, although allowing
ample leg room. Four grown persons
can comfortably ride in the Country
Club.
Wide ~" doors, front-hinged. with
large pockets for tools and other ac-
cessories are provided.

company believe that the Country
Club will find ready sale among peo-
pie who also own heavy large cars
and are accustomed to easy riding,
special care having been taken to
make it so comfortable and easy rid
ing that it will not suffer by compari-
son with the most luxurious make.
Large four-inch tires; the famous
shock absorbing cantilever springs
which are now a feature of all Over
land pleasure cars; and special springs
for the cushions, go long way TO
achieve this end
Thorough tests have shown the per-
formance of this car to be i'll keeping
with its style.
"The volume of power developed
by its four cylinder motor and the
smoothness and ease of operation, ac-
cording to the WHY'S Overland COM
pany are going to be source of
