Reo Flying Cloud Sport Sedan 1929
The REO company was founded by Ransom E. Olds in 1904 following his departure from Oldsmobile and produced cars and commercial vehicles up until 1979. The Reo cars were built in Lansing, Michigan, This beautiful 1929 Flying Cloud Sport Sedan (B2) was the luxury sedan by Reo for 1929. Boasting 3x speed transmission, electric starter, 4x wheel hydraulic drum brakes (and aftermarket booster), 60 horsepower “L head” 268 cubic inch straight six, keeps up with modern traffic effortlessly. It was technologically advanced and passenger comfort was far superior than the majority of its competitors. This vehicle has been beautifully restored and recently recommissioned with new hoses, fluids and all necessary adjustments made. The paint, chrome work and mohair interior trims are all in amazing condition. It drives extremely well and is ready to be taken on rallies, weddings or weekend cruises. 2x spare wheels and tyres and a lovely trunk fitted to the rear for extra storage. It has rear passenger compartment pull down blinds, Kristallglas Handarbeit crystal glass ashtrays, side windup up windows fitted, chrome footrests and grab handle, it really is designed with passenger comfort in mind. The owners manual and REO pocket Salesman’s guide will accompany the car. It also has a period correct aftermarket Aermore exhaust whistle which is quite a hoot! (See attached advert).
Finding a 96 year old car that looks and drives as well as this does is a rare thing.
