Roadster
One of the company's most popular offerings for 1913 was the Model 69 roadster, which was built on a 110-inch wheelbase chassis. It was powered by a four-cylinder motor that developed 25.6 horsepower. The price new from the factory was $985. The Model 69 was one of two four-cylinder models, the other being the larger and more expensive Model 71, introduced in the autumn of 1912. Powered by a 4.8-liter engine rated at 25.6hp and producing 30bhp, the 69 was a brief inclusion in the Overland range, being replaced in 1914 by the Model 79.

Overland built a quality automobile that was advanced for its time. The early models had a removable ignition plug that prevent auto theft. Though they had a great product - like so many other automakers - they were in danger of collapsing by 1907. A dealer from Elmira, New York named John North Willys, had a $10,000 deposit on an order for 500 cars. To keep from losing the sales he had generated, he stepped in and assumed management of the struggling company. The company was reorganized as the Willys-Overland Company and the years that followed were filled with both near bankruptcy and multi-million-dollar production. Production would continue until the 1930s.This Overland Model 69 wears an older restoration and is finished in a shade of blue, with white pin-striping and black fenders. The interior is finished in black diamond-pleated leather with a black canvas top. In 2001, it was donated to the AACA Museum. This 5-passenger Touring car rests on a 110-inch wheelbase platform and is powered by a 226.2 cubic-inch inline four-cylinder engine offering nearly 26 horsepower. There is a selective sliding-gear three-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drum brakes.
