NEW OVERLAND |s.
 SMART AND TRIM.
Economy of Operation Is We'll Established in Service by
 Nearly Million Owners

New, trim lines with a snap and dash that have heretofore been asso- ciated only with high priced cars, are evidenced in the new Overland being exhibited at the automobile show this week-a complete car-plus. The new Overland represents the concentrated efforts of one of the l largest antefiobile manufacturing organizat ts .h the world to furnish the Amer :n public with luxurious motoring at the lowest possible cost, car that the average American family can take pride in, and can drive for years without trouble and
 expensive upkeep.
 Considering the proven economy of this car. proven in it's performance
 to nearly 100000 owners, and the completeness of its design and equip ment, the price at which it is offered strikes a new note in the low cost of transportation controversy. The Reason for It's Economy
 The new Overland is powAEsd by a sturdy, high-speed motor. overland
 designed and completely Overland built in the big Toledo plant. The
 motor is of simple design and eff ciency and turns 27-horse power on brake test. delivering more than the usual number of miles from gallon of gasoline or a pint of oil. Motor, clutch and transmission are a unit. These vital parts are com
 pletely enclosed and thus protected from mud and dirt. The transmission is of the selective, sliding gear type three speeds forward and reverse. The clutch is of the disc type. easy to operate and remarkably efficient.
 The clutch runs in bath of oil. It is equipped with the Auto-Lite system of ignition with starter; we'll built weatherproof top with the same distinctive lines as typify the Willys- Knight; curtains that open
 with the doors: demountable rims. speedometer, dash light, long grain black Duratex upholstery, rubber floor mat and sloping, ventilating and rainproof windshield.
 The Overland has more braking area-actually and relative}y-than any light car on the market, There is one square inch of braking surface to every 19 pounds of car weight. A Very Graceful Car
 The trim lines of the new Over
 land denote grace and beauty. very that appeals. The brilliant, lasting
 finish far outlasts the ordinary coat
 of paint.
 The radiator of the new Overland
 has been raised one and one-half
 inches and is assembled with the
 shell in one unit. The cowl and hood
 have been raised like height, giving
 the stream line appearance. denoting
 ease of operation and fleetness if
 needs be. The same distinctive hood
 catches that have been used on the
 ve-passenger Willys-K Knight cars are now standard equipment of the new Overland.
 The front splasher and froat end of the lenders have been slightly re- designed to eliminate rumbles. Anti snueaks have been added to the run ming board splasher, body and frame Automotive engineers are authority for the statement that 65 per cent of the squeaks and rattles in an au- tomobile are from the hood and run ming board.
 The body of the car is wider and bigger in every way. There is ample room, even for stout person, to en- ter the front door on the steering wheel side. convenience that is ap- preciated by many. The beads have been omitted from the doors and body. making much heater looking finish and duplicating the body con- struction found in much more ex- pensive cars
