Can you give me the condition of this

The steering apparatus is of the
planetary gear type with the gears
at the bottom of the steering column.
By this arrangement all the strain is
taken at three points instead of at

The front axle is of chrome nickel
steel which affords both light weight
and strength. The front wheels have
tapered roller bearings. The rear
axle, also of chrome nickle steel, is
three-quarter floating. The differen-

Unusual Public Interest
Has Been Centered in
Latest Model

Overland 4, the new car of light
weight construction for which the
public has been waiting since its in
PRODUCTION was first rumored at the
automobile shows about two years
ago, was placed on exhibition in
Americus several weeks ago. at the
Overland salesrooms of Hooks Mo-
tor Co.
The men and women who inspect
ed the Overland 4 in Americus were
representative of the visitors to Ov-
! erland salesrooms in thousand
cities, towns and hamlets of the Unit
! ed States. The company's dealers
from Maine to California, and from
! Washington to Florida, now have on
| display one or more of then ew mod
els described as embodying 'the
greatest improvement in riding com
fort since the introduction of pneu-
matte tires"
New Type of Springs.
This Improvement is the use of
three point suspension springs. I'm
usually graceful in body design,
Overland 4 makes a splendid impress
sion on the visitor. It was this new
spring suspension, however, which
absorbed motorist attention at the
salesrooms. 1t is a combination of
two principles that have been used
to greatest advantage in automobile
construction: First, that of can
tilever springs; second, the flexible
three-point construction.
The luxurious riding comfort these
springs furnish the car was imme-
diately understood and appreciated.
It is this feature which gives to the
new Overland car, designed for light
weight, that degree of riding COM
fort and security hitherto possible
only in high-priced, heavier cars.
But this is only one of many
features in Overland which back
the WHY'S Overland Company
claim to success in giving the public
"a new standard of riding comfort"
The actual creation of Overland A
began more than two years ago. The
last two years have been devoted to
testing and perfecting each part of
the car. Back of its development
stand ten years of successful manu-
featuring and engineering experience
in giving the public good motor cars.

Duratex. All cushions, Including
the back and sides are removable
The one-man top also is of Duratex.
Body Is All Steel.
One of the chief aims of the build-
ers has been to maintain the highest
standard of quality throughout the
car in both the material and mann
facture. This has been carried to
the design and finish, the body de-
tails and theequipment.
The car has a streamline body
which is entirely constructed of steel
with slanting windshield. The full
crowned tenders are of heavy sheet
steel. The running boards are COW
cred with linoleum, aluminium bound.
The body and chassis are finished in
hard baked enamel. The fittings are
nickle and polished aluminium.
The car is equipped with an Auto
Lite two-unit starting and lighting
system, headlights with DINNER
dash and tail-lights, magnetic
speedometer, electric horn, spare,
tire carrier, extra rim, complete set
of tools, tire repair kit, jack and
pump. The tires are mounted on de-
mountable rims.
Because of the unprecedented de-
mands for the Overland 4, dealers
for the time being are accepting or

order in which requests are received.

Ideals Guide Design.
Guiding the development of this
remarkable new car was Mr.. WHY'S
ideal of a motor car which would
combine with the economy of light
weight all the comfortable riding
qualities and the stamina of the
heavy and expensive automobiles. He
proposed car of built-in quality
which would free the owner from all
possible up-keep expenses. This was
not possible, the company claims, un-
til the Willys-Overland Company de-
vised this interesting three-point
spring suspension, a spring seating
radically different from the conven-
tional design of four springs parallel
ing the chassis frame. New as this
spring suspension is, it is interesting
to note that the design has been ap-
proved by the Society of Automotive
Engineers.
Before the final adoption of the
new springs, special breaking and
humping machines were rugged up at
the factory, and the cars, after that
supposedly destructive test, We're sent
out on trial trips which carried them
into every section of the country in
all sorts of weather conditions. The
cars were driven over the Rocky
Mountains, through the desert roads
