ANNOUNCE A new
MODEL OVERLAND
Willys-Overland Co., a New
Powerful Low Price
Car, Model 70 b.


new model by the WHY'S Overland
'ompany of Toledo, Ohio. which is
destined, In the opinion of those who
ave already seen il. to cause a greater
Gtir in automobile circles than any
IF the many sensational developments
l m motor car building which have oc-
\urred during the recent years The
most powerful low-priced car in the
world is the description given OF this
new product of the great Toledo fac
tory and 1t is to he known technically
as the WHY'S Overland company's
new series model 75B
The new series model 75B Overland
naturally bases its claims to being the
most powerful low-priced car in the
world on its motor and on the eX-
haustive tests. which its builders in
Sist have shown conclusively its SUI
periority over anything of its kind
over manufactured heretofore. With
larger bore now 3 3-S inches and a
5-inch stroke. IL develops 81 y horse
- power at 1850 revolutions per min
Ete. This performance, at this low
Speed, in the opinions of those expert
in automobile building, promises the
Freatest possible power from the mo-
or. with the smallest amount of
wear IN the motor itself. Like a
flash, this amazing motor will take
the car two ard a half miles an hour
10 SO miles an hour on high with all
the ease of action so widely adver-
tised in the big. powerful machines
selling at five and six times its list
price.
The low price of the new car nat
urally implies economy. hut the
Willys-O overland officials show that,
unlike many other instances of low
priced cars. the economy does net end
With the purchase price And here
Il. 10, .fTs l.
motor. as the Overland officials refer
% it, is demonstrated. Tests have
repeatedly proven that this sensa-
tional car will accomplish 25 miles on
one gallon of gasoline and Is to 20
niles per gallon is a common per-
iormance I'm average all-around use.
The motor however, is but one of
the many features of this inexpensive
car which are causing comment on
every side. In riding comfort 1t is
said no car anywhere near Its price
can compare with It. 1t is equipped
with four-inch tireS-something prac-
tically unheard of up to now in cars
of this type. no other make selling
anywhere near this price being
equipped with four-inch tires Those
who have ridden on four-inch tires
know well their advantage from the
standpoint of riding comfort in a car
of this size. The easy riding quail
ties of the car are further enhanced
by Cantilever rear springs, an import
ant part of the equipment Of higher
priced cars. They reduce to the min
imum the iarring caused by driving
over rough roads. This Is due largely
to the fact that the cantlever spring
is attached to the axle of the car at
the rear end of the spring instead of
in he middle. When the wheels
strike a rough spot. the reaction is
directed backward at a slight angle
instead of straight upward against the
springs as in the case with ordinary
types Of springs. The effect is the
same as that of a glancing blow com
pared with solid shock.
The new series model lob Overland
is one Of the extremely few light
cars perhaps the only one in Its class,
in which the maximum of speed can
be utilized without rafting the cars
frame to pieces and without jarrlne |
the passengers out of their seats. In
fact, the machine is simply a roomy, |
comfortable, solidly-built car, con-
structed on light basis with such |
careful attention paid to distribution
of weight and stamina of rarts that |
It will hold the road, be it dry or slip |
perry, as the case may be. while the
wonder motor IS smoothly developing
with sufficient energy to propel q |
much heavier car with perfect ease !
built that II can make the best pos
sible use Of the most powerful motor.
Notwithstanding the low purchase |
price, both touring car and roadster |
are equipped completely with all OF
those accessories which prove such |
great selling factors in the disposal
of expensive makes of cars. Here
are few items in the equipment
which are said to make II positively |
unique in the history Of lowpriced |
cars:
A two-unit six-volt electric starting |
and lighting system, with head. tail
and dash lamps and headlight dim
mers; ammeter to register the cleo
trio current: one-man mohair top and
\ top boot; curtains fastened from the |
Asde; built-in. rain-vison, Ventilat-
N type windshield; magnetic speed

oine gauge; electric horn; Combina-
tion tail light and license bracket;
hinged robe rail; foot rest; tire car
riers in rear; extra demountable rim;
full set OF tools. tire repair kit. jack |
and pump.
In appearance. the body also ranks
with the designs of most costly cars,
practically the only difference being
that It is smaller in size. Character
and stability are noticeable in every
detail It has the latest streamline
design, which has proved so attractive
q oNhe army of buyers during the last
Nv months. and its long sweeping
iirves lead in an unbroken line from
6e radiator to the full curved back.
"A one-piece cowl and a sloping back
increase its graceful appearance, while
crowned tenders of heavy sheet steel
add another feature that is rare In
inexpensive cars. Concealed door
handles and hinges are also used in
this model. There are large pockets
on the inside Of the doors so neces-
sary for carrying travelling incidentals,
and the roomy seats have high, COM
Portable backs with seat cushions
built on deep coiled springs. The ma
chine is finished in solid black with
nickel and polished aluminium trim
mings. Il
The drive. Of course, is left-hand
with a center control to facilitate
driving, while the electric control but
tons on the steering column enable
