nzcarnerd ◊ 2010-12-09 20:30	From the pics of the engine posted later it is obviously not a V8 Willys-Knight but it is a four cylinder Overland. They only made the limo in 1916, but in two models - model 83 (106" wb) and model 84 (114" wb). This looks to be the larger - a rare car. There is a 1916 Model 83 here - http://www.wokr.org/ - but I think the car here is bigger. -- Last edit: 2010-12-09 20:32:30
