THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
Claude M Cox's original Overland car was developed in the early 1900s by the Standard Wheel Company, of Terre Haut, Indiana, and the fledgling firm had already changed hands once before John North Willys, a New York auto dealer and major Overland customer, arrived to rescue it from oblivion in 1907. Willys had ordered 500 Overlands and paid a deposit of $10,000. When the cars were not forthcoming he travelled to Indiana, only to find Overland on the point of closure. Willys secured credit, re-organized the company and by the summer of 1908 was in a position to build a new factory, a facility that was sorely needed, as Willys had been forced to carry out Overland assembly in a circus tent! Building four-cylinder cars only from 1910, the revitalized company went from strength to strength, production increasing steadily until by the start of WWI only Ford could claim a higher output. Sliding-gear transmissions had replaced the previous epicyclic type in 1909, co-incidentally the same year that Ford introduced the Model T that would use the latter form of transmission for the next 17 years!
A very handsome and sporting body style on this chassis with compact seating for four persons and a light scuttle cowl, this Model 41 appears to be an entirely original and unrestored car. The bodywork shows the remains of a darker blue shade of paint, while the interior leather to front and rear is complete and intact. Of particular note is the presence of the original front floor mat with Overland inscription and the logo painted on the hood, both signs of a car that was never derelict.
It is not known where the Overland sojourned its life, nor when it arrived in the collection, but it fits other themes of American automobiles of this era and originality.
