1922 Overland
The 1922 Overland
needs a complete restoration which I looked forward to doing when I retired.
I'm 85 and I'll never get time to restore it. I purchased it in 1993 from the
elderly son of the original buyer who bought it in March of 1922. It was in its
later years used to carry stuff around the farm. Then it was driven into a shed
and not used for years until I discovered it. It has always been kept dry.
Unfortunately, to use it on the farm, the owner cut off the body back of the
rear seat and trimmed the fenders. I've been picking up items for the
restoration including an excellent left side fender, an extra headlight, etc. I
believe it would have run if I had gassed it up when I picked it up, except for
a bad distributor base. It was made of pot metal, which falls apart, and needs
replaced.
I'm asking $2,000 for
the Overland. It must be picked up at our farm in Carrollton Ohio.
