-------- Brief History of the Red Bird -------
During the period 1920 - 1926, Willys Overland produced a succession of 4 cylinder models which were designated 4, 4A, 91 and 91A - all on 100 inch wheelbases. In 1923 another 4 cylinder model was introduced, this time designated Model 92, but on a 106 inch wheelbase and more readily remembered as the Bird series. Red Birds had red bodies, Black Birds had black bodies and Blue Birds of course had blue bodies. Sometimes all these models are known simply as the Overland Four. The goal had been to sell the car for $500 to compete with the Ford Model T. However the war induced increases in prices for steel and labor and so the selling price for 1920 ended up at $845 and upwards.
Total combined production of the 4 cylinder models 4, 4A, 91, 91A and 92 over the August 1919 to May 1926 period amounted to some 642,000 vehicles. All used the Triplex 3 point cantilever spring system consisting of 2 quarter elliptic springs mounted at angles at both the front and rear of the car.
