ROADS ordinarily closed to light sixes so far as comfortable driving is
concerned, are wide open to this Overland.
The "modern engineering" in its low swung motor makes it the power
and performance sensation in its class.
Straight line drive with more usable power delivered to the rear wheels
than in any other car of its class give it amazing ability it will out-run,
out-pull, out-accelerate any other car near its price or size.
The body is carried low, all the weight is close to the ground; the long
springs and the perfect balance of the chassis give it a road stability that
'turns all driving into real enjoyment.. s '
Compare it for pcrformancewith anyothcr light sixyou may select. Com-
fare it for appearance, room, finish and equipment. Compare it for real
asting qualities already it is the second largest selling light six among
them all and the demand is increasing every day. '
' You arc entitlcd'to know what your money will return to you in satij
faction. Owner maintenance costs for the Overland Light Six arc the
lowest we know anything about among cars of this type.
Sec this car ride in it we will accept your judgement after a real trial.
