1937 REO Speed Tanker, proves there may never be a day in the future when we have rediscovered all the cool designs that have been forgotten and lost
reminds me of the Diamond T "Doodlebug" http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/07/cool-rvs-some-because-they-melded.html

Automobiles of the 20's and before, from Shorpy.com
1922 the last horse drawn fire truck in New York
1927 Dodge trucks belonging to the Treasury Department
1908 subway train
1920's
Model T runabout
Predessesor to the ladder truck, called a water tower, pre-1922 which was the last year for New York horse drawn fire engines from what I read
1925, and brilliant advertising photo of the "Capital Brand" with the Capital building just over the hood
1920
REO dealership floor, 1920
The Baltimore automobile above demonstrates a safety catcher for pedestrians... I wonder if it was due to unsafe drivers who couldn't safely operate the cars, or pedestrians who couldn't avoid being hit by the comparably quiet cars
Oldsmobile Sales Co. interior, 1919 or 1920
The Hackett Motor Car co, Jackson Michigan
1912 is the time of the photo. Terrific delivery wagon, precursor to the truckhttp://www.shorpy.com/ for terrific old photos of everything, I just dig the automotive ones

1951 REO Gold Comet





For a great webpage that has a 55 REO getting restored, and look at how nice the restored engine turned out! http://www.myperspectives.com/user/image/gold-comet-power.htm
The ad is for the 1955 models, but it's cool, so it's here for you to see http://www.adclassix.com/index.html
