55 miles on aa Imperial gallon of petrol 55 miles an hour—s to 30 miles in 13 seconds ■V 4.wheel brakes— stops in 51 feet from a speed of 40 miles aa hour Turn* in 34-foot circle—parks in 14 feet of curb space 5 feet 9 inches high—lower gravity centre—greatest safety Modern-type body— provides more inside room than other light cars Beautifully finished in Appenine Blue Lacquer J Amazing No light car equals it because fio light cut is as fav advanced in modern engineering . . FOR over three years Willys-Overland engineers in Europe and America have been developing the Overland Whippet . 500,000 miles of road tests have proved its practical adva tages beyond all doubt. This new-type car marks the most imoortant light-car engineering improvement in the last x 6 years. L The OVERLAND WHIPPET is a complete new car . . . designed and built as a unit... not an old-fashioned C J^ SIS structed. The enclosed models, or the touring model with the cop 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 ty res and the four-wheel brakes make steering easy. Its high-torque, ii-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 the feeling of riding -loser to the ground .. . with the resultant sense of stability and absence of that sidesway so noticeable in the conventional type 3 f 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, high body car or the small, narrow-tread car. . Here at last is a motor-car tnat will run 35-mnesoh an Imperial gallon of petrol. . . well over iooo 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. f 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. $i 50 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. □kl V\ 1 Ms? m OVERLAND Whippet New Zealand A. HATRICS ViKiui WeHUiUs id Diitriintara j I 8 CO..
