SECOND COMEN
Olds was the only automaker with two car companies named after him? What about The Henry Ford Company and Ford Motor Company?
Most interesting.
I just bought one… running driving and dumping now👍
I just bought a 1933–34 reo 4 tonner
And I thought REO Speedwagon was just a band
Hey„,where can i watch full version of this?
Anyone here because of the band?
The claim that Olds was the only Detroit automaker to have two car companies named after him is false. Robert Craig Hupp founded Hupmobile and later RCH, both existed at the same time.
Pronounced REO, not like the band which is R. E. O.!!!
When I was very young early 1960s I saw an old R.E.0. in the woods on the mountain we lived on. The brass rad cover was still ok the seats were rotten and springs popped out. The wooden spoke were ok. It was an amazing find but by now its probably almost gone except for the tires.
