NEW STANDARD
OF TESTING
OVERLANDS

The testing Of motor cars. like the
building OF motor cars, has undergone
marked Advancement during the last
few years. New standards have been
created and new mechanical testing de-
vices have been perfected to keep pace
with the development of tn sutomo-
bile itself.
II remained for the WHY'S Overland
Company, however. to supply the su-
preme test TO it's latest model. Over
land 4 which has just been announced.
This test. it is believed. a established
new standards OF testing Il refine
ment Of details TO make q car practi-
calIy perfect mechanically before It
goes to an owner.
The history or the development, the
building and the testing of Overland 4.
which introduces the new three spring
suspension, covers a period Of years.
The car IS the product Of q decade OF
progressive engineering achievement
toward the ideal lightweight car: OF g.
years ~ntensive engineering expert
ment and two years actual demonstra-
ton and test in all kinds Of weather
and all sorts OF roads.
During the two years OF test. Over
land 4 was given 100000 miles of 40
tual road demonstration. That's ten
times around the world before a single
car went on the market.
These tests were of great value 20

partments OF the Willys-Overland Co..
and. finally. to the man who buys the
car. a stan Of engineers studied the
car during these 250, 900 miles OF test

provemnt that might be necessary 70

The value Of 100000 miles % ex-

ed from the comparison with the usual
custom Of sending a new car into the
market after it has been pounded on

demonstration. Overland 4. II is said,
s the hrst car that has gone on the
uarket with a pedigree OF perfect pro-

The section Of the country picked
for these tests was in natures labora-
tory OF the Southwest, Colorado, New
Mexico and Arizona. There nature
seems unfinished. a rough. rock-strewn
tortured country. 1t was there that
the engineers decided That the new
three point suspension springs could
be given a supreme test TO q velep tht
