Nice looking bike with cool documentation. Another CCM bicycle named after an automobile.

yeah i saw this too, does anyone have any info on these "Overland" models? i also thought it was neat that it came with an old photo of the original owner with the bicycle from years past. Real nice John.

Have no specific info on that particular model, but can tell you that the Overland was a motor car being produced by John Willys in Toledo Ohio. In 1915 when Tommy Russell decided to sell the automotive side  of CCM, he sold it to Willys and the Russell Motor Car Co. became the Willys-Overland Co. of Canada with Russell as its vice president. With Russell also remaining as president and general manager of CCM, it's easy to see how they'd end up using the motor car name for one of their bicycles.
