New Type of Springs This improvement is the use of three point suspension springs. Un- usually graceful in body design, Overland 4 makes a splendid im- pression on the visitor. It has 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 construction : First, that of cantilever springs; second, the flexible three- point construction. : 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 its development stand ten years of successful manu- facturing and engineering experience in giving the public good motor cars. For the imme®ate development and production of Overland 4, John N. Willys has 'constructed the vast resources ~of the Willys-Overland company. Production will be"on 7a scale which will assure the greatest economies in manufacturing. Ideals Guide Design | Guiding "the 'development of this remarkable new, car was Mr. Willys' ideals of a. motor car which would combine with the economy of light weight alt#the comfortable riding qualities and the ptamina of the heavy and expeiisive automoibles. He proposed 2 car: of built-in quality which would: free the owner from all possible upkeep expenses. This was not possible, the company claims, un- claim of having produced a car that rides well on any road. Second--Economy. The new springs so 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 accessible that costs of upkeep and repairs must be great- ly 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 '| power plant, compact and simple. The neatness and clearness of design he- speak 'the ready accessibility to all parts. ; d 2 «i | pr] ! Qt t [=] ] ((b) & : ; a J > ; fy ington to Florida, now have on| ments or roads.
