Tired of the now overused term “Barn-Find” being applied to every old car that has been located anywhere long enough to acquire a few particles of dust? How about this early twenties Overland that has been parked in a barn for seventy-five years, ever since 1939 when gasoline became unavailable in Sweden due to World War-II. Note the old-fashioned wooden jack in the foreground and the ornate architectural grating behind it.

Roger Karlsson from southern Sweden also reports: “I think it’s a 1923 Overland “Red Bird” model 94. There were many ads for them in period Swedish auto magazines. Overall they didn’t sell very well, so Willys dropped the Overland brand in 1927.”

An illustration of the Overland chassis is included above that was apparently used between the years of 1920 and 1924. Note the unique angled four quarter-elliptic spring suspension system.
