REO Speedwagon

REO SPEEDWAGON.. saw them at Day on the Green with Journey. I had a 30" waist then.

 

Saw one at the National Automobile Museum here in Reno a few days ago.
A 1937 REO 3/4 Ton Speed Delivery (little brother to the Speedwagon)

1936 and 1937 Graham actually used the REO body....Cool cars.

 

This is one of my favorites a 1929 REO Royal Rod

Here's another one.

 

Went clear across the state to an REO concert. My buddies 62 Impala had the gen light come on so we pulled into a Texaco in this small town. The old dude said he would sell us a truck. Well it turned out the generator pulley had just come loose so we are ready to go back on the road and I ask to see the truck. It was a 1951 Ford F2. He wanted $50 and we could all scrape up about that much. So I said we'd take it id he filled it with gas, done deal. Drove it 150 miles home.

 

2nd on that, gary was the man!!!!

 

When I started driving tractor-trailers in 1982, we had some Diamond T& Diamond Reos(not sure what year they were).

Here's a pic of one
