NEW OVERLAND COUPE
AROUSES ENTHUSIASM
OF FEMININE MOTORISTS

Unusual interest among feminine
motorists has greeted Willys-OVer-
lands announcement of it's new two
passenger Overland Coupe. Not only
is 1t light car embodying the man
lfOld advantages of the entire Over
land line, but it combines with these
driving comfort and convenience
almost incredible in a car of these
dimensions.
Nowadays, with the male members
OF the family requiring the use of
the car during the day, there is a
definite need for a second car in a
good many homes, car that can be
used for shopping and visiting by
the women folks of the home.
The new Coupe has proved itself
to be ideally adapted for this pur-
pose. Ventilating windshield, Dura
window regulators, rear window
curtains are little touches that ap-
peal to feminine taste.
Coupled with these features is the
ease of parking, and the unusual rid
ing comfort due to the 136-inch
spring base. Its ease of handling in
congested traffic areas because of
the exceptionally large steering
spindles and bearing are decided
factors in this new car intended for
feminine use.
The new Coupe is equipped with
doors that are over 81 inches wide,
thus providing easy entrance. The
body of exceptionally heavy metal,
is sturdily reinforced. Unusual pains
are taken with the painting opera
t1ons, fourteen coats being applied
to give the car its lasting durable
finish.
The interior of the body is finish
ed in durable, long grain Spanish
leather upholstery. The seat cush-
ion is over As inches wide, being am
pie to accommodate three medium
sized people. There are Is inches
between steering wheel and cushion,
it convenient for the car
to be entered easily from either
side.
A roomy rear deck provides am
pie space for packages, which is an
additional convenience for milady's
It's hinged cover is pro-
vided with a lock and is protected
against dust and leaks.
