What Overland Model is This Car?

[Alisaquam]

I am trying to figure out the exact year and model of an Overland car that i acquired. I have been told that it is an 1911 but no model and I need any help you all can provide me. Value would be awesome as well.

I didn't see a model for the year 1911, but there was a model number for all the others from 1903 to 1912.

The car is a 1911 Model 51. Overland was quite advanced for 1911 with center mounted shift and brake levers.

Great car. Get it running and drive the tires off of it. Overlands are great tour cars. I had a 1913 Model 69 (basically the same mechanical features as yours) that I drove for thousands of miles. Your car looks to be a very correct and nicely restored example.

It's got the stick holding the cone clutch away from the flywheel to keep it from sticking,seizing and otherwise cementing into the flywheel. I've heard horror stories about getting those apart once that happens.

Very true.  All of my cone clutch vehicles have a stick sitting on the floor.
