from anything we ave ever seen
before in this country. 1t looks
different. it acts different N
it serves a different but constantly
increasing demand. Mechanically
it is an adoption of the best thai
Europe has to offer in the way
of powerful, economical engines
with a wide speed range,

the European productions, n
with a fiexibility, silence anu
smoothness of running which Is
new to u light a productoh'
1t is a quality product in every
detail from the trim, smart eN-
tremely low hung body with It's
brilliant finish and superb up
holstery to the last detail OIL is
mechanical construction.
The sedan will travel So miles
an hour. as easily and comfortaol
as the great of our present DAY
~.sixes, and yet it is equipped with
a four-cyiinder motor.
1t will accelerate from B to 20
miles an hour in 10 seconds or
in Just half a second more ume
than some of our largest and most
flexible "sixes" and it will
% to 80 miles on a gallon of fuel.
1t will stop in a little over twice
its own length from an average
driving speed for it is equipped win
O wheel brakes, having a drum
diameter of IL inches which is
larger than those on many of our
large cars.
The motor develops 20 per cent
more power per cubic inch OF pis-
ton displacement. than any other
light four-cylinder motor built IN
America; this is n of the results
of utilizing the European type OIL
high speed motor design. III
develops greater brake horsepower
than any other light four-cylinder
car in this country and YET II
weighs just a little over 1000 IDS
ready for the road. The power
plant turns over $500 revolutions

E. rating of 1876 H. p. The
total piston displacement is l34.z

that of the average European light
car, but less than any other Amer
lean built ~four-cylinder car.
LOW BODY
The roof of this new type car
is only S feet 8 inchres from the
ground yet the room inside the
body is greater than in any other
light car now on the market
Its first appearance is striking in
the extreme. A man of average
height can stand alongside it at
the curb and rest his arms on the
top and look over it. But a
six footer can sit in it with all
the room he wants. In respect it is
thoroughly American and bears no
relationship to it's diminutively
dimensioned European cousins.
Inside the body is As" from
floor to roof and there are So
between the top of the seats and
the roof. The seats are approx
imately ~" from floor to the top
O the cushions. There are 35"
of space from the front of the seat
cushion to the clutch and brake
pedals. In the rea seating COM
partment there are Sc SIS, afford
ing greater room for the occupants
of the rear seat than is found in
any other light car built.
To give room for stretching out
in the front seat the metal dash
is curved forward several inches
and there is as much leg room in
this compartment as there is in the
rear.
The front seat is 40 L." wide
and the rear seat is As 1-2" wide,
the conventional widths for these
two seats.
The doors are wide and hung on
four hinges so that it is extremely
easy to get in or out.
Perhaps one of the greatest
surprises this car has to offer,
OI us performance dDllllS
is the roominess in the body.
And the body lines are aristo-
cratic in every way. A conspicu-
ous feature is the construction of
the sun visor which is formed by
continuing the roof forward in a
graceful down swinging curve
This is nobby tailoring for eve
the best of cars and is a hallmark
of quality in this Overland Whip
pet.
The radiator is conspicuously
high and narrow and is housed
in a deep. nickeled shell. The
body lines sweep gracefully back
