LAND 4" SETS A GREAT III ENDURANCEMARK Stock Car, Running 24 Hours a Day for Seven Days, Establishes Record at Indianapolis. L REUNI II TRAVELS 5452 MILES This Is Said to Equal i Year's Wear and Tear by the Average Motor Car Owner. W FURIOUS DRIVING ALL Triplex Springs Protect Car From Road Vibration of Driving at an Average 3214 Mile an Hour , i Speed. Driven continuously for seven dnys and seven nights, over ordinary bu'Ii- urban roadways, an Overland 4 stock car has established at Indianapolis, Jnd., a new unofficial world's mileage record for a light car tinder ItiS hours of incessant driving. ' The Overland 4 in tho seven days and night of this remarkable endur ance run piled up record of 5,452.1 jmlles. The car finished the grind on the same Plsk tires which it started. To make this new record, the drivers " of Overland 4 maintained an average speed of 32 Vi miles an hour, 24 hours a day. Gasclino mileage was 20,24 miles a gallon. The consistency of Overland 4 per formance is shown in this tabulation of each day's run. The first day and night, the speedometer registered 749 j miles. On the second day, the mark was 778 miles; on the third, 747 miles; on the fourth. 793; fifth, S09; sixth, 823, and on the last lap of the new unofficial world's record, 753 miles. The! test, the first of its kind to be tried and actually accomplished by a light car, started at 9 a. m. on Feb ruary 2fith and ended at 9 a. m. on March 3rd. The run was conducted by the Gibson Company of Indianapo lis,' distributors for Overland cars The mileage and gasoline records are certified by the following observers: Howard F. (Howdy) Wilcox, win ner of the. 1919 Indianapolis Speed way '500 mile racing classic; Munrce E. .Boblet, secretary of the Hoosier Motor club of Indianapolis; and R. H. Scrogin, editor of the (Hoosier Mo torist, i r Although the new Overland 4 with Triplex springs had been tested 250, 000 miles under all possible weather and road conditions before it was placed on the market by the Willys- lOverland Company, the officials of the company feel that the Indianapo lis endurance run is one of tho most convincing demonstrations yet made of the reliable, economical perfor mance of the car and the road-com- fort qualities of the now famous Tri plex Bpring suspension. Officials of the company witnessed the start and the finish of the seven-continuous-day run. Careful exam ination of the car and its power plant after the run convinced the' Gibson company that the car was ready to re peat the endurance test of the 168 i hours of furious driving and largely 'because the car had been protected by the new Triplex springs. The run is considered the highest possible verifi cation of the ability of this new spring suspension to protect the car from road wear and provide big car riding comfort In a motor car of short wheel-base.
