Specifications of the new models of the
Overland car Just announced by the
Willys-Overland company, Toledo, reveal
a line applying three body designs to the
tame chassis construction. In keeping
with the policy of the Overland company
not to announce new models to the publtto
until proPctlve buyers may view tho
new product In the showrooms of the
dealers, this announcement, thought the
first publlo description ol the 1914 Over
land line, finds Overland dealers In the
possession of sample cars and ready to
do business.
The Ml4 Overland cars are not radically
different from those of the season Just
past, although they show differences In
a number of points, most of the changes
being In the1 matter of dimensions and
added equipment rather than In other re
spocts . A brief review of the details shows that
the motor. Is very similar In construction
to that of model 69, of which 40,000 were
built during the 1913-13 season.
Tho motor Is somewhat larger, VAxW,
inches,- and hus been . Improved by the
adoption of a constant level splash lubrl
: eating, system. The push rods can be
removed without disturbing the cam
shaft, being held In place by drop forged
claws. The operation of the push rods Is
made almost noseless by the use of
bronse caps fitted over tho push rod
tops.
Intake Smaller.
In order to compensate for the lower
volatility of present day sasollne, the In-
t&fce- manifold has' been redesigned and
'.given .a smaller diameter. . The universal
Joint; is larger than last year to com-.
ponsate for' the Increased power.
The three-quarter floating Overland
rear axlo remains the same as before, as
also does' the braking equipment

tildes of tho body, remain without projec

the passengers' feet occasionally come In
contact with- the- finished body surfaces
a protector strip fs provided The steer
ing, wheel Is eighteen inches In diameter
and tho steering post carries a carbureter,
adjusting lever within easy reach of the
driver's hand.
Tho Toadster body Is of attractive de
filgn, alBu ofthe' cowldash.tjrpe, with a

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Two University

pool to complete an automobile trip

New Marion Sk
is- Full of Interest
'A new six now attracting the atten
tion of the automobile buying and selling
world Is the 1814 offering 'of the Marion
Motor Car company- of Indianapolis. The
new car Is known as ths Marlon Six and
comes In two models OB and G2. Tho
former designates the five-passenger
touring car and the latter the two-pas-Henger
roadster. Both or these models
nre mounted on the same chassis, of
124-Inch wheel-base. Both are equipped
with t5x4H-tnch tires.'
The many refinements of detail, lux
ury and equipment are at once evident
in this new car. The mechanical de
tails are well In keeping With the hand-
Home exterior appearance and will sus
tain the statement of the makers that
his car ts the result of months spent
In painstaking experiments and careful
thought Ths car Is complete In every
detail. Kothlng necessary in a substan
tial American family car is lacking.
Possibly the most Important part of
the car, In the mind of the purchaser, Is
the motor. In this new "BU" the motor
Is an .excellent Illustration of the best
practices In modern construction. The
cylinders, "U" head, ate cast In threes,
jreatly facilitating cooling and carbure
tlon. two of the greatsst problems of
the slx-cyllnder motor builders. Water
U circulated In Urge water Jackets
around combustion chambers and valves
by a powerful centrifugal pump and
cooling Is further aided by & pressed
tei fan.
35 horsepower
Again
again the value goes up!
again we prove the power and possi
bilities of large production. -
Last year we buili 40,000 cars. This wad
not enough for the demand by nearly 10,000
cars. This year we will manufacture 50,000
cars (twice as many as we did two years ago)
cover the car with additional value and what
will strike you as most remarkable, make the
price lower than ever. Such is the net eco
nomical result of manufacturing one type of
automobile on an enormous scale.
You who have followed our success
from season to season have watched our an
nual models grow in value and decline in
price. And as our prices came down our
production went up. We have always and
unfailingly given the public more automobile
for less money than any other manufacturer
in the industry.
Here are the big 1914 facts!
The nlotor has been enlarged. The bore
Is 4 1-8 inch stroke 4 1-2 men. It :is conser-.
vatively rated at 35 horsepower and will de
velop 50 miles an hour. It has' a five bear
ing crankshaft and three bearings on the
camshaft. '
The wheelbase has been lengthened to
114-inches. This, as you know, is the aver
age wheelbase of $1200 cars. And a long
wheelbase eliminates road jars and rut jolts.

Brakes are very large. Respond gradu
ally, positively and smoothly without jump
ing or jerking. Either brake will keep the
car under perfect control at any speed with
a full load.
The foregoing is but a short digest of the
newest Overland, yet it concisely itemizes
and sums up the ' greater Overland vahie.l
When you fully realize what an exceptional
and economical buy the 3514 Overland it
after the great value facts have become:
firmly lodged in your commercial and calcu
lating brain, remember this that in the very
face of this increased value the price has again
come down r
Price reduction is a condition that Is
controlled and regulated by factory facilities
the larger the manufacturer the lower he
can market his merchandise. As we are
producing more cars of this type than any
other manufacturer in the world we can
effect industrial economies which make it
possible for us to market a car that will, on
the average, cost you less than any other
similar model.
