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.

North bound in the fall of 1984. Lots of these D-Rs were seen at this location.

After Dia REO stopped making trucks in Lansing, Osterlund Inc made these "Giants" in Harrisburg, PA.

Foggy morning in 1990 east of Lancaster, PA. Early 1970's truck and another Farr filter.

When is a Reo not a Reo? When It is a Rex! Rex built the mixer body, I don't know why their name is on the Chassis. Milwaukee,Wi Sept 1964.

Twenty year old truck at Dundalk, MD in the 1990's.

Mid-1980's shot on rt83 in York, PA. Another Farr air cleaner. These old Reos were still popular in the 80's. Nice period trailer. Lots more rt83 shots in my Album.

What kind of future are you seeing?

Reo is doing slightly better. He is adjusting well to eating the canned food (understatement of the Century), but had to be spoon fed at first.!!? He's still having some pain, and is due for a follow-up next week. He has not responded as quickly as he has in past episodes of his FLUTD. So he under close supervision.

Early 1970's Diamond REO. From my collection; it might be a Ron Adams shot taken in Carlisle, PA or N Lima, OH.

I did not catch the year of this classy REO.

Visit to the 2013 Hines Drive Cruise on August 25. This cruise follows approx. six miles of Hines Drive along the valley of the Rouge River (well upstream from the Ford River Rouge Plant). The drive is closed to regular traffic and it's estimated that more than 30,000 Classic cars, customs and street rods were in attendance.
