springs The car has thus all actual
springbase of 100 inches, although the
car wheelbase itself is 100 inches. Each

bling. sidesway, and Iurching are ma
terially lessened. The result is a
roomy, easy-riding car on a new type
of springs so designed as to absorb
road shocks from the worst of pave
ments or roads The WiIlyS-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
lighter weight and hence a great say
ing in fuel and tires. Furthermore.
the car is so simple and accessible that
costs of upkeep and repairs must be
greatly reduced Yet the cars parts

factor in upkeep. The car is assem-
bled from five units only. The chassis
| is clear of all involved mechanism. The
entire assembly requires only 80 bolts.

| thoroughly up-to-the-minute power
plant, compact and simple. The neat
ness and cleanness OF design bespeak
the ready accessibility to all parts.
New Quality Standard
Third Quality. Specifications in
dictate that the Overland has been
built in each part of the finest quality
steels and steel-alloys. The cars parts
have been machined within the closest
possible limits, permitting a quality of
construction equal to that of a hand
made product. Inspection starts at the
steel mills where the company has
stationed expert metallurgists to test
every heat of steel, and the inspection
ends only with the owners driving the
car away. The stock reaching the fac
| tory is thus all first grade through
many inspections This itself is a new
feature in automobile construction
The body is all-steel with an oven
baked enamel finish. The construction
| is simple and the balance of part to
part is unusually fine. The car has
been designed light weight.
