Machinist_Bill Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I have a Overland Coupe titled as A 1925. The Model number on the VIN is 91-A with a 6 digit serial number beginning with 283XXX. When searching for gaskets for the 4 cylinder they told me "My gasket book shows the model 91 Overland from 1919-23, and then the model 92 Overland from 1923-26". How can I tell who is correct? The Engine number is 235744. Can anyone help? :confused:Many Thanks!Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it was titled correctly. Now I will wait and see if someone can tell me if I have the original engine. Thanks again Bill!Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcvs Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I bought a 1917 Maxwell that was advertised as a 1916 Maxwell. Research revealed it was from late 1917. When I applied for antique plates the first time, the state rejected the application saying they could not change the year, and also rejected it because it is not in showroom condition (it is unrestored, but in running condition, so I will keep it that way). When I tried again, around Christmas week, when I thought there might be less oversight, I got it back accepted, with a corrected title listing it from 1917.
