satisfied the company's engineers that
it was right. The war period which
held up production was devoted to an
exhaustive perfection of car details,
refining the quality and economy fea-

! Without emphasizing such features
as an unusually attractive appearance
the all-steel body with the oven baked
enamel finish and other interesting de-
tails, it may be said that motoring in

tinctive features of Overland 4. These
| features, each worth the motorist's
study, are:
| Springbase, Not WheeIbase
| First, of course, the three point can

on Overland extend Is inches from a
point on the chassis beyond the axles
at front and rear, giving a wide di-
agonal shape to the springs. The car

inches, although the car wheelbase it.
self is 100 inches. Each spring flexibly
responds to its task of keeping the
body and passengers riding on a con-
stantly even keel. Bobbng sideways
and lurching are materially lessened
The result is roomy, easy-riding car

as to absorb road shocks from the
worst Of pavements or roads. The
| WHY'S Overland engineers make the
unusual claim of having produced a
car that rides well on any road.
Second-economy. The new springs
so protect the car from road shock as
to make possible much lighter weight
and hence a great saving in fuel and
tires. Furthermore the car is so sim
pie and accessible that costs of upkeeI
and repairs must be greatly reduced
Yet the cars parts have a protected
accessibility big factor in upkeep
The car is assembled from five units
only. The chassis is clear of all in

bly, requires only so bolts. The engine
is a remarkably high grade, thorough.

steel mills where the company has sta

ends only with the owners driving tn

feature in automobile construction
The body is all-steel with an oven
