First version of the Royale cabover from the early 70's. NE shot by Russ MacNeil.

Reo did dodge the Santa Cap this year.....

Similar to the old AMT kit. This truck was for sale in Colo long ago.

Ron Adams shot this at his usual place but later 80's. Big sleeper D-REO.

In the rain it just looks like it could be and thanks to Richard Cleggs for bringing this and also a Diamond T came too very similar to this.

In case anybody wonders how the musical group got their name, I present to you a 1947 REO Speedwagon.

Dave has been bringing the riffs for REO since 1989. Bryan Hitt has been handling the drums since that time too.

Desde hace 1989, Dave ha tocado los riffs para REO. Bryan Hitt ha manejado la batería desde el mismo tiempo.

The band is getting old, but still put on a pretty decent performance.

Reo HAS realized there are things worse that Leo that can tag along on our daily walk.....!

Late model Giant on new blacktop about 1990. I wish I would have bought one of these trucks.

Designed and built by Ransom Eli Olds (with the initials forming the brand name REO), this car embodied the archetypal American car to perfection for seven years. Practical, easy to drive, inexpensive and light on fuel, it was also called 'the sportiest thing on wheels'.

Old Malta bus 2882 Reo Speedwagon on B'kara route

I decided to revisit Kemp's Truck Museum (shown in an earlier photo) last weekend to see if any remants of the old truck collection had survived. The museum closed in 2007 following its owner's death and most of the individual trucks were sold at auction two years later. Luckily, there were still a handful of vehicles left.

This is a REO F-20 tow truck dating from the mid-1950s. This truck model was used in a variety of configurations, including rescue and service vehicles. This looks very similar to an earlier model named the REO Speedwagon (the band's namesake), but that name doesn't appear on the body of this vehicle.
