So an Overland stock car started
from New York at midnight on July

single driver had ever sat in the
car before. In many cases the road
was missed, and the distance had
to be covered back until the right
road or the detour was found.

ton of the Overland dealers. But

Over Continent, Car is
Relayed From Driver
to Driver

A few weeks ago an Overland
dealer down in Arizona suggested
an entirely new kind OF trip for
motor car. He said, ''Ltts have
the distributors and dealers clear
across the continent relay a stock
Overland automobile from driver to
driver on continuous trip, and see
what the car will do.
At first the idea was acoffed at, as
every man who knows automobiles
knows that under such handling no
car can be reasonably expected to
perform even up to it's normal re-
quirements But on second thought,
it was decided that trip like this
would be the best kind of test that
could possibly be given, as it would
show not the best that car could
perform. but the best that could
be expected under the most adverse
conditions.

27.2 Miles to Gallon
That is Economy

The average gasoline mileage for
the entire trip was 27.2 miles to the
gallon. A record which under sim
liar conditions has never before
been equalled. No attempt was
made at speed record. But that
record, too, stands as a remarkable
achievement for a car of this size
and weight.
