"T'EEN judges of value are the first
IVto appreciate the real superior
ity of the Overland Six. Its greatest
list of users is found among men
whose judgment of real worth is
acknowledged.
To them its amazingly low price
is only an invitation to investigate
what it covers.
Modern engineering is their first
discovery a type of design which
reflects the best that eighteen lead
ing American and European cars
have developed.
The low swung motor straight
line drive balanced construction
all mean a new type of efficiency
with all the power real and us
able all the time. . 1
The chassis construction Indi
cates a strength and wearing qual
ity that means long life and trouble
free service the modern require
ments of a modern man.
The body development room
beauty the evenly distributed
weight comfort and convenience
mean the satisfaction of every re
quirement of the man or woman
who use their car day in and day
out with no regard for the miles
they run it.
Viewed from these aspects the
Overland Six is the lowest cost car
ever offered in its class because
it brings more for the money invested.
