Overland 4, After Two Years of Actual
Demonstration, is Officially Announced
Unusual Public Interest
Has Been Centered in
Latest Model
Overland 4, the new car of light
weight construction for which the
public has been waiting since its in
troduction was first rumored at the
automobile shows about two years
ago, was placed on exhibition in
Americus several weeks ago. at the
Overland salesrooms of Hooks Mo
tor Co.
The men and women who inspect
ed the Overland 4 in Americus were
representative of the visitors to Ov
erland salesrooms in a thousand
cities, towns and hamlets of the Unit
ed States. The company’s dealers
from Maine to California, and from
Washington to Florida, now have on
display one or more of then ew mod
els described as embodying “the
greatest improvement in riding com
fort since the introduction of pneu
matic tires."
New Type of Springs.
This improvement is the use of
three point suspension springs. Un-*
usually graceful in body design,’
Overland 4 makes a splendid impres-;
sion on the visitor. It was this new
spring suspension, however, which
absorbed motorist attention at the
salesrooms. It is a combination of
two principles that have been used
to greatest advantage in automobile
construction: First, that of can
tilever springs; second, the flexible
three-point construction.
The luxurious riding comfort these
springs furnish the car was imme
diately understood and appreciated.
It is this feature which gives to the
new Overland car, designed for light
weight, that degree of riding com
fort and security hitherto possible
only in high-priced, cars.
But this is only one of many
features in Overland 4 which back
the Willys-Overland Company’s
claim to success in giving the public
“a new standard of riding comfort.’’
The actual creation of Overland 4
began more than two years ago. The
last two years have been devoted to
testing and perfecting each part of
the car. Back of its development
stand ten years of successful manu
facturing and engineering experience
in giving the public good motor cars.

production ‘of Overland 4, John rt.
Willys has concentrated the vast re-1
sources of the Willys-Overland Com-J
pany. Production will be on sale j
which will assure the greatest econo-1
mies in manufacturing.
Ideals Guide Design.
Guiding the development of this
remarkable new car was Mr. Willys’
ideal of a motor car which would
combine with the economy of light
weight all the comfortable riding
qualities and the stamina of the
heavy and expensive automobiles. He
proposed a car of built-in quality
which would free the owner from all
possible up-keep expenses. This was
not possible, the company claims, un
til the Willys-Overland Company de
vised this interesting three-point
spring suspension, a spring seating
radically different from the conven
tional design of four springs parallel
ing the chassis frame. New as this
spring suspension is, it is interesting
to note that the design has been ap
proved by the Society of Automotive
Engineers.
Before the final adoption of the
new springs, special breaking and
bumping machines were rigged up at
the factory, and the cars, after that i
supposedly destructive test, were sent j
out on trial trips which carried them ,
into every section of the country in |
all sorts of weather conditions. The I
cars were driven over the Rocky |
Mountains, through the desert roads |

and boulder stretches of the south
west, over the sagebrush and sand of
i Texas, and through the mud and clay
of the Missouri Valley. A two years’
! test, covering 250,000 miles of trav
. el! The car satisfied the company’s
engineers that it was right. The
war period which held up production
was devoted to an exhaustive perfec
tion of car details, refining the quali
ty and economy features.
Without emphasizing such features
as an unusually attractive appear
ance, the all-steel body with an over
baked enamel finish and other in
teresting details, it may be said that
motoring interest centers in four new
and distinctive features of Overland
4. These features, each worth the
motorist’s study, are:
Springbase, Not Wheelbase.
First, of course, the three-point
cantilever spring suspension. The
springs on Overland 4 extend fifteen
inches from a point on the chassis
beyond the axles at front and rear,
giving a wide diagonal shape to the
springs. The car has thus an actual
springbase of 130 inches, although
the car wheelbase itself is 100 inches.
Each spring flexibly responds to its
’ task of keeping the body and passen
| gers riding on a constantly even
j keel. Bobbing, sidesway, and lurch
' ing are materially lessened. The re-
I suit is a roomy, easy-riding car on a
i new type of springs so designed as
I to absorb road shocks from the worst
of pavements t or roads. The Willys-
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
shock as to make possible much light
l er weight and hence a great saving
lin fuel and tires. Furthermore, the
i car is so simple and accessible that
I costs of upkeep and repairs must be
I greatly reduced. Yet the car’s parts
have a protected accessibility—a big
factor in upkeep. The car is assem
bled from five units only. The chas-
I sis is clear of all involved mechanism.
I The entire assembly requires only 50
I bolts. The engine is a remarkably
j high-grade, thoroughly up-to-the-
I minute power plant, compact and
i simple. The neatness and clearihess
| of design bespeaks the ready acces-
I sibility to all parts.
Third—Quality. Specifications in
dicate that the Overland 4 has been
built in each part of the finest qual
ity steels and steel-alloys. The car’s
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 metal
ludgists to test every heat of steel,
and the inspection ends only with
the owner’s driving the car away.
The stock reaching the factory is
thus all first grade through many in
i' spections. This itself is a new sea
! ture in automobile construction. The
| body is all-steel with an over-baked
{ enamel finish. The construction is
I simple and the balance of part to
I part is unusually fine. The car has
I been designed light weight.
; Fourth—Bountiful and complete
i equipment. In every detail from de
i mountable rims to Auto-Lite starter,
lights and horn, the equipment of
Overland 4 appears to have been
planned with a single view of com
fort, convenience, and long service.
All seat cushions, which are detach
j able like those in a pullman, are up-
I bolstered with the luxurious Mar-
I shall Divan springs. The wind

is required of the motor to operate
these systems.
The steering apparatus is of the
planetary gear type with the gears
at the bottom of the steering column.
By this arrangement all the strain is
taken at three points instead of at
one.
The clutch is of the single plate
type now used by 71 per cent of the
motor manufacturers. The selective
gear transmission has three speeds
forward and reverse. It operates in
oil.
The front axle is of chrome nickel
steel which affords both light weight
and strength. The front wheels have
tapered roller bearings. The rear
axle, also of chrome nickle steel, is
three-quarter floating. The differen
tial and rear wheels operate on annu
lar ball bearings.
The car is equipped with two
brakes—foot and hand. These work
on 10-inch drums on each wheel and
to assure safety are larger than ne
cessity demands.
Upon the instrument board, or
“keyboard” as it is called on the
Overland 4, is centralized the hand
throttle, spark and choke control and
the ignition and electric buttons, to
gether with the speedometer dial and
current indicator.
In addition to the hand throttle
there is a foot accelerator handily
placed. The clutch and brake pedals
are adjustable to reach. \

Duratex. All cushions, including
the back and sides are removable.
The one-man top also is of Duratex.
Body It All Steel.
One of the chief aims of the build
ers has been to maintain the highest
standard of quality throughout the
car in both the material and manu
facture. This has been carried to
the design and finish, the body de
tails and theequipment.
The car has a streamline body
which is entirely constructed of steel
with slanting windshield. The full
crowned fenders are of heavy sheet
steel. Tfle running boards are cov
ered with linoleum, aluminum bound.
The body and chassis are finished in
hard baked enamel. The fittings are
nickle and polished aluminum.
The car is equipped with an Auto-
Lite two-unit starting and lighting
system, headlights with a dimmer
dash and tail-lights, a magnetic
speedometer, electric horn, spare,
tire carrier, extra rim, complete set
of tools, tire repair kit, jack and
pump. The tires are mounted on de
mountable rims.
Because of the unprecedented de
mands for the Overland 4, dealers
for the time being are accepting or
ders for delivery to purchasers in the
order in which requests are received.
