40,000 Cars a Year Make this Value Possible
HERE is the car we have asked you to wait for. Those
who have heeded our advice will profit. Those who
have not will lose. You were duly warned, advised
and notified, and those whose better judgment
directed them to delay their automobile purchase,
until we made public our 1913 facts, are now in a position to feel
no little amount of keen satisfaction.
This car, at this price, smashes all previous records. It even
totally eclipses our 1912 values, which a year ago baffled the world.
40,000 Overlands will be made in 1913. This enormous jump in
production makes possible this new car at this new price. As our
production goes up, our prices come down, as has been shown in
each preceding year.
Now let's take this car and carefully analyze the value.
First take the remarkable and exceptionally complete equipment
of standard accessories. The Warned speedometer is conceded by
practically every manufacturer in the world to be the best made.
It is the speedometer you find on all of the $5,000 cars. We could
have put on a speedometer that costs just half that of the Warner
but we wanted the best. The price of this speedometer is SSO the
world over. Then take the top and boot. This top is made of the

market. The clear vision windshield is handsome, strong and
serviceable. Besides being an ornament to the car it adds that
touch of completion The retail price of this anywhere is $25.
Then there is the well known Prestolite Tank, the price of
I which you know from past experience is always and to everyone
the same. The Overland self-starter cannot be purchased for less
than $25. This car carries a SSO Remy Magneto which has an es
tablished reputation all over the world.
We can touch the big subject of the car itself but slightly.
Th* specifications above tell the story. Here is detailed the most
remarkable automobile value the world has ever been offered.
Not particularly such high-grade features and fineness in the con
struction as the famous Timken roller bearings on the front wheels
and the equally famous Hyatt bearings on the rear axle. Note
more carefully the long wheel base and big motor. The wheel-base
of 110 inches gives ample leg room in both seats.
The selective transmission, too, is fitted with fine annular
bearings. Read carefully the spring and brake dimensions. Com
pare these spring and brake facts with cars that cost twice the •
price. Do this without fail. You’ll find no difference. The three-

quarter floating rear axle is another big and important feature.
Have you ever heard of an equal value for less than $1,200?
Why, as a matter of actual fact, you can find $1,500 cars that have
practically no more to offer than this one for $985.
In this age of rapid progress it is sometimes difficult to grasp
the full significance of an important, progressive manufacturing
step, such as this car exemplifies. But when you sum up the
extraordinary cold dollar for dollar value which this car offers, as
compared to any and all competing motor car values, the giant
economical manufacturing strength of the huge Overland plants is
realized and recognized. It only proves the ability of this most
powerful and efficient automobile factory. It only proves the
economy of producing over 49,000 cars a year and the big money
saving it means to you.
We can make the positive statement, without any kind of a
condition, that this is the automobile industry’s record value.
This car can now be seen in any city in America. Over
2,000 Overland dealers are waiting to give you your demonstration.
Look up the Overland dealer in your city today. Phone for a
demonstration. We will give you all the time, at any time you want.
