"jrpOß over three years Willys-Overland engineers in Europe IP and America have been developing the Overland Whippet . . . 500,000 miles of road tests have proved its practical advantages beyond all doubt. This new-type car marks the most important light-car engineering improvement in the last 16 years. The OVERLAND WHIPPET is a complete new car _. . . designed and built as a unit... not an old-fashioned chassis reconstructed. The enclosed models, or the touring model with the top up are only as tall as the average man. Yet, due to unique body construction, there is actually more head-room and legroom than you have ever found in any motor-car of this class. The specially designed steering mechanism for balloon tyres and the four-wheel brakes make steering easy. Its high-torque, 3 1-horsepower engine of small bore and long stroke embodies the same engineering principles used in the fastest racing cars of America and Europe. In the OVERLAND WHIPPET you have thefccling of riding closer to the ground ... with the resultant sense of stability and absence of that sidesway so noticeable in the conventional type of car. The Whippet’s centre of gravity is extremely low, yet road clearance is ample . . . thus giving a wonderful sense of , driving security at the high speeds of which this car is capable. And with its wide standard tread it can safely take turns at a speed which would be impossible in the old-fashioned, highbody car or the small, narrow-tread car. Here at last is a motor-car that will run 3 5 miles on an Imperial gallon of petrol. . . well over 1000 miles on a gallon of oil. . . with incredible mileage on tyres .. . and the smallest tax-rating of any car produced in the U. S. A. > Exhaustive tests so far indicate that the average year s operating cost of the OVERLAND WHIPPET should save you from U. S. $75 to U. S. $l5O in petrol, oil, tyres and mechanical upkeep. Money that goes back into your pocket. Money you must add to the cost price of any less-economical car you consider. In fairness to yourself see this remarkable car. Drive it . . . find out for yourself its amazing performance. 1 1 9 OVERLAND Whippet Now Zealand Distributors A. HATRICK 8 CO., LTD.
