Big Car Comfort Claimed Overland 4, the new car of light weight construction tor which the public has been waiting since its in troduction was first rumored at the automobile shows about two years go, was placed on exhibition in this city recently. The company's dealers from Maine to California and from Oregon to Florida, now have on display one or snore of the new models described as "the greatest improvement in riding comfort since the introduction of pneumatic tires." This improvement is the use of three-point suspension springs. Un ssually graceful In body design, Ov- v 1 ' SAT"-' .w.vfi erland 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 con struction: First, that of cantilever lprings;" second, the flexible three joint construction. The luxurious riding comfort these springs liirntsh the car was immedi ttely understood and appreciated. It is this feature which gives to the new Overland car, designed for light weight, that degree of riding comfort and security hitherto possible only In high-priced, heavier cars. But this is only one of many feat ares in Overland 4, which back the .Willys-Overland claim to supcess 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 this development st and 8 ten years of successful manu facturing and engineering experience Jn giving the public good motor cars. For the immediate development and production of Overland 4, John N. Willys has concentrated the vast re sources of the Willys-Overland Com pany. Production will be on a scale which will insure the greatest econo mies in manufacturing. Guiding the development of this re markable new car was Mr. Willys' Weal of a motor car which would combine with the economy of light 27,CC0. 000 SMALL DEPOSITORS 5AVE - $i073,971,0G0 i, - Report Made at the Bsnkers' Convention Develop " Startling Figures.

He proposed a car of built-in quality which would free the owner from all possible upkeep expenses. This was not possible, the company claims, un til the Wlllys-Overlaud Company de vised this interesting three-point sus pension of spring, a spring seating radically different from the conven tional design of four springs paral leling the chassis frame. New as this spring suspension is, it is interest ing to note that the design has been approved by the Society of Automo tive Engineer. Before the final adoption of the new springs, special breaking and bumping machines were rigged up at the factory and the cars, after that supposedly destructive teat, were sent out on trial trips which carried them into every section of the country in all sorts of weather conditions. The cars were driven over the Rocky mountains, through the desert roads and boulder stretches of the south west, over the sage brush and sand of Texas and through the mud and clay of the Missouri valley. A two years' test, covering 250,000 miles of travel The car satisfied the company's engi neers that it was right. The war per iod which held up production was de voted to an evhaustlve perfection of car details, refining the quality and economic features. Without emphasizing such features as an unusually attractive eppear ance, the all-steel body with an oven- V baked enamel finish and other inter esting 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: 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 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 keel. Bobbing sidesway, and lurching are materially lessened. The result is a roomy, easy-riding car on a new type of springs so designed as to absorb road shocks fr6m the worst pave ments 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 si protect the car from road shock as to make possible much lighter weight and hence a great saving in fuel and tires. Furthermore, the car is so simple and accessable that costs of upkeep and repairs must be greatly reduced. Yet the car's parts have a protected accessibility a big factor in upkeep. The car is assembled from five units only. The chassis is clear of all involved mechanism. The en tire assembly requires only 50 bolts. The engine is a remarkably high grade, thoroughly up-to-the-minute j eminent secunucu, but U.ue invtsl ! merits led to additional lavings, con- solidated the habit of thrift and In creased bank deposits throughout the entire nation. These 27,000,000 depos itors now own $10,578,971,000 of sav ings. ,TMs is the money which has built up the railroads, municipalities homes and Industries of the nation. These savings represent over twenty-Bix per cent of the total resources. Tness savers financed the war successfully, and on their continuation of the pro duction of new capital through sav ings rests the solution for financing reconstruction and for the increase of production necessa:y to check the high cost of living, bankers agreed. The government savings securities and Liberty Bonds offer ideal means for the production of 'his new capital in the opinion of progressive bankers. They are adapted for Investment of all sums no matter how great or smaH. They are the safest security possible. They are profitable and readily con vertible into cash should necessity arise. Their purchase not, only aids in financing the -j.-e. n.iieut, but re power plant, compact and simple. The neatneas and cleanness of design be speak the ready accessibility to all parts. Third, quality. Specifications Indi cate that the Overland 4 has been built in esch part of the finest qual ity steels and steel-alloys. The car's parts have been machined within the closost possible limits, permitting a qunlity of construction equal to that of a hand-made product. Inspection starts at the steel mills where the company has stationed expert metal lurgists to test ever heat of steel, and the Inspection ends only with the owner's driving the cur away. The stock reaching the factory is thus all first grade through many Inspections. This itself Is a new feature In auto mobile construction. The body Is all steol with an oven-baked enamel fin ish. The construction is simple and the balance of part to part is unus ually fine. The car has beon design ed light weight. Fourth, bountiful and complete equipment. In every detail from de mountable rltns 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 able, like those In a pullman. are up holstered with the luxurious Mar- fshall Divan springs. The windshield Is slanting rain vision. The one-man top, curtains and cushions are Dura tex. The horn button Is In the center of the steering wheel. The controls are all mounted on a keyboard on the cowl in Instant and handy reach. All in all. Overland 4 impresses its visitors as being a motor car value of very distinctive comfort, economy, and convenience. It will be marketed In four body styles: A Sedan at $1, S75: coupe at $1,35; touring car and roadster at $S45, f. o. b. Toledo. The motor of the Overland 4 Is cast en bloc with a removable head. It has generous valve opening. The lubricating and oiling system requires no pumps. The oil is circu lated by pressure automatically Croat- ; Thprmo-Syphon system or natural cooling method. No power Is requir ed of the motor to operate these sys- l terns. I The steering apparatus Is of the planetary gear xype wun me 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 i oil. 1 The front axle Is of chrome nickel steel which affords both light weight and strength. The front wheels have tapered roller hearings. The rear i axle, also of chrome nickel steel. Is , three-quarter floating. The differen tial and rear wheels operate on an nular 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 nec-! essity demands. Upon the Instrument board, or the "keyboard." rs it is called on the Overland 4, Is centralized the hand throttle, spark and choke control, and the Ipnitlon and electric buttons, together 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 ; ; arp adjustable to reach, i The wide, deep seats of the Over land 4 supplement the three-Point Suspension Springs and comfortably j i accommodate five passengers. The .cushions are equipped with Marshall 'divan springs. The upholstery all throughout the car Is long grain Dur- I ' atex. All cushionst including the j back and sides are "removable. The j ! one-man ton also is of Duratex. i 1 One of the chief aims of the build ers has been to maintain the highest standard of quality throughout the ; j car in both the material and manu-j I facture. This has been carried out : i in the design and finish, the body de- j j tails and the equipment. The car has a streamline body ; ! which is entirely constructed of steel : I with slanting windshield. The full- j j crowned fenders ore of heavy sheet steel. The running boards are cov-1 j ered with linoleum, aluminum bound, j The body and chassis are finished In 1 hard baked enamel. The fittings are nickel 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 i tools, tire repair kit, Jack and pump.
