Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. B&L acetylene spotlight, Dietz kerosene sidelights, Nonpareil bulb horn, no top or frame.

Condition

A complete but aged and dirty old car with curdled paint. The engine and drivetrain are dirty but lightly oiled and move freely. This REO has the potential to be moving on its own before the end of the month and after that needs only consistent sympathetic care to the enjoyed for years.

Market commentary

This is a delightful little one-lunger, a bit more advanced than R.E. Olds'' preceding Curved Dash but still simple, elemental and enjoyable. Its equipment is impressive and its condition is ideal for learning how these old cars work. It''s a sound value at this price.
