By James Long: "I wanted to let you know that the Hub Society had made a discovery. This car is a 1915 Overland series 80. The chassis that was used for the display at the Panama Pacific Exop of 1915 in SanFrancisco. It was a complete chassis and was made as a cut away. It went on to be used as a teaching tool at U.C. Berkeley, but was sold to the current owner in the late 1980's. Our program teaches youth about Automotive history and introduces them to materials science. I have a strong desire to save this car and use it as an amazing tool to show why quality materials and science are important. The car is currently being used as a parts car for the owners driver. I would propose to make it trailer mounted and use it for seminars. This car is too important to become a pile of parts. If you know of a 1915 series 80 we may be able to trade it for this very important link to our automotive past and future."
