Overland Sedan wins first in Class Two. A Willys Knight touring ear finished in Class Tw’o, being beaten by our own entry. It is significant that Overlands not only won first in every class and contest entered, but that the three Willys-Overland entries finished One, Two, Three in the Baker Economy Cup event, leading the entire field of 17 entries for all honors. lu the Grand Sweepstakes the two Overland entries finished first and second, again leading the field.
