I don’t know if you buy parts for a Reo or not but I have a nice set of wheels,rims and brake drums in very nice shape with the little R hubcaps on them. If not, maybe you could point me in the direction. Thank you.

REO made lawn mowers also, do you have any information about the model 75A Michigan Noiseless Laenmower? Lawnmower Division of REO Motors Inc.
Thanks

in 1931 my father acquired a used 1928 Reo 4 door sedan and it gave him excellent service for seven years but in spring 1938 I saw an ad in the local paper for a used 1935 Reo Royale for $350 “like new” with “self-shifter”–I was 14 and my loving father bought that car-don’t know how he paid for it-it was during depression—I learned to drive on that car and became the family chauffeur–I loved that car

My father worked for REO around 1913. He came from Poland with his passage being paid by REO providing he worked for the company for a set period of time. Does anyone have any information about this program, how long it lasted and how many people were brought over?

My father just passed away in April and he had a REO Model FE….I am just trying to find out what year these beautiful trucks were made and possibly where to find the serial number so I can find out more about it. It has been left to me and by the looks of it, it will not take very much to restore it.
I would appreciate any information anyone might have or a ‘push’ in the right direction to find it.
Thankyou.

We had a REO automobile when I was a boy. It was a 4 door workhorse, green, with mud scrapers on the running boards and a metal shield under the chassis. It must have been made in late 20s or early 30s. Would love to find a photo.
