The Peak of Motor Car fashions
This new Overland Country Club Light Four is a distinctive
and smart car in the low-priced car class.
The rich, gray body, with black fenders and trimmings is set
off to pleasing advantage by red wire wheels that give just
the right flash of brilliant color.
The two comfortable front seats move forward or back in-
dependently, and a spacious aisle between gives fret passage'
to a roomy seat for two passengers in the rear.
For riding comfort, the Overland Country Club is a revelation.
Long, cantilever rear springs give it the riding ease of a much
heavier, bigger car. . • ,
It Itas ample power—and it is economical of gasoline.
An easy car to handle, and completely equipped.
An unusual demand for this model makes it necessary to place
orders at once to secure spring delivery.
