OVERLAND MODEL 85-FIVE-SEATER

TOURING CAR.

Overland

in appearance, as in all other respects, the Model 90 Touring Car is all that you would demand, or expect, in a much higher-priced car. The body is long and low, with that harmony in the blending of times that marks the true streamline type. The front edge of the radiator is rounded: the bonnet slopes gradually into the beautifully curved cowl-even the back of the car is gracefully rounded out. There are no projecting door hinges or handles; no obstructions on the running boards; nothing about the whole car to mar the clean smoothness of its lines. The mudguards are long and sweeping in their curves, with gracefully rounded surfaces; the built-in wi3d-screen is a part of the car itself rather than a mére attachment. In every respect it is a car which you will be proud "to" own and drive.

This long, low streamline body is unmarred by angles or projections. From the round. ed edge of the radiator to the full curved back, there is not a break in the lines. The doors are flush, with hinges concealed with handles inside. The mudguards are long and sweep- ing in their curves, with gracefully rounded surfaces.

The wind-screen is built in, and conforms to the curve of the cowl-a part of the car itself, not an apparent after thought.

Model 85 touring car is a beautiful car. It asks no odds of any car at any price-it is at home in any company.
