One of the unusual features of the
Overland Model 91 which has firmly
established this car as one of the
most popular models of its type in
the United States and which
has been the subject of ap-
proval by enthusiastic owners in
letters to the factory. is the ex.
ccptiopally long spring bus, which
gives riding comfort equal to some
of the largest automobiles made in
this country.
In no other automobile of the same
type has the spring carriers been
lengthened to such unusual extent
which. because of the extension of
the patened Triplex springs. pro.

Coincident with this unusual‘rid-
ins feature of the Overland Model
9!. is the unusual handling ease of
the car. because of its shorter
wheelbase. This enables the driver
to have access to small parking
space and has made the car a fav-
orite in crowded city traffic.
In construction the Overland Mo»
del 91 has many characteristics of
cars much higher in price. Moly-
bdenum steel axles of the same type
used in more expensive cars are
used in the overland Model 91.
which has a heavy pressed steel
frame that absorbs many of the
road shocks experienced in driving
cars of this type. A "non-grabbing"

steel springs of the patented Trip-

some of the features of the Over-

it is such quality features as
these that have made the Overland
Model 91 one of the most popular
care of its class in the country and
resulted in unequaled performances
in the hands of owners.
