The Overland cars were still produced until 1926. Then one manufactured until 1931 Whippet.
The last track of the Overland automobile empire can be found in bricks that form the word " Overland " in the chimneys of the factory in Toledo, which was once the center of Willys automotive empire. But the name was also used by DaimlerChrysler for an equipment package for the Jeep Grand Cherokee produced since 2005. So the name Overland from the early 20th century, and came back to a car.
