This car took part in the Lancashire Automobile Club's annual Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in June 1991, and is pictured in the Exchange Station car park before the start of the Run.
It's a 1916 Willys Overland Tourer, and the only information about it in the programme of the event is that it had a 4-cylinder 35hp engine and was entered by Dr M F Rudge of Ashton-in-Makerfield. The Overland Automobile Company was founded in 1903 by Claude Cox in Terre Haute, Indiana, and in 1905 moved to Indianapolis. In 1908 the Company was bought by John Willys and it was renamed the Willys-Overland Motor Company.
