Naylor repairing a tire on a 1913 Overland Touring Car, Blue Earth County, Minnesota </gallery> One of the more unusual uses of an Overland was in 1911 when Milton Reeves used a 1910 model to create his 8-wheel [[Milton Reeves#Octo-Auto and Sexto-Auto|Octo-Auto]], his eight-wheel car. The last vestige of the Overland automobile empire remains in the form of bricks spelling out "Overland" in the smoke stack at the [[Toledo, Ohio|Toledo]] factory that once formed the core of Willys automotive empire. But the name would come back when [[DaimlerChrysler]] (Now [[Fiat Chrysler Automobiles]]) introduced the Overland name for a trim package on the 2002–present (except 2005 model year) [[Jeep Grand Cherokee]]. The badging is a recreation of the Overland nameplate from the early twentieth century.
