Noted Upstate automobile dealer, John Willys, took over the Overland Automobile Manufacturing Company in 1907 after his $10,000 deposit for cars were never delivered due to backorders and debt. He immediately took over the operations of the company. With a new infusion of cash, he reorganized the firm as the Willys-Overland Company (1909), and dramatically increased production. This growth continued until the early 1920s. Ultimately, Willys-Overland was the second largest producer of cars behind Ford. John Willys was eventually demoted from his role at the company after huge financial losses due to bad business decisions and a post-war depression. Years later, he regained his position and Willys- Overland rebounded with great success. The Production of the Model 91 began in 1923 and lasted until 1926. It was offered in a range of open and closed body styles. The Model 91 utilized the company’s Triplex suspension. Unlike conventional semi-elliptic leaf spring suspension system, which in most cases was mounted parallel to the frame, the Triplex system was a three-point cantilever design consisting of a pair of quarter-elliptic springs mounted at an angle. This unique suspension was used in both the front and rear of the car.
