    Wow, this is really an old timer, they must have stopped making this 60 years ago!

  • Thanks Jadeast, I looked it up on Google and found one in their images just like it but restored but no date on it. I agree with you on the about date but I always like to be exact when posting a date. May someone will let use know and I will b-mail you.

    They used to make an auto to which became the Oldsmobile when GM acquired it, I believe, The initials REO stodd for Robert E Olds.

  • Thanks for the info, Jadeast: There are a lot of these old trucks in Oregon just rusting away on the smaller farm lands in the Willamette Valley.

    Fantastic photo…is this where the band “REO Speedwagon” (of late 70’s and early 80’s fame) got it’s name?
