Vehicle Description
This is your opportunity to be the most interesting person
everywhere you go, from car shows to parade routes. After all, when
was the last time you saw a 1922 REO T6B seven-passenger touring
car? Ever? And just look at how complete, pristine, and ready to
roll it is!
You know Ransom E. Olds in one way or another. He was a brilliant
engineer who can be named in the same breath as Henry Ford for
bringing good quality cars to the masses. While many have driven an
Oldsmobile, only a select few get to own a vehicle from his other
venture, REO. This seven-passenger open touring car really shows
off the best of the 1920s - wood wheels, big headlights, and winged
thermometer radiator cap. There's even a nice custom touch with the
intricate custom bumper design. It's got that classic silhouette,
but carries an interesting name on the front that faded long ago.
This one is particularly striking because of the red paint that
comes from a recent high end restoration. But this car goes beyond
just an expensive professional respray. Most cars from this era
have black fenders, but this one just looks much bolder with the
bright red color shimmering over more of its sheetmetal.
Inside is the kind of cleanliness that can only come from a quality
restoration. Not only are the gray leather seats superbly
comfortable, but they also have nice red piping that match the
exterior paint. This same motif is repeated on the door panels for
that added luxury touch. The folding roof even carries the same
gray color. By now you've probably noticed the folding jump seats
in the rear. That brings the total seating to seven comfortably,
which makes this the perfect vehicle for everything from parade
routes to something memorable for multiple family generations to
ride in around town.
Take one look underneath this car, and you can really see just how
far the restoration went. The entire drivetrain appears like it's
1922, and fresh from the Lancing, Michigan factory. But more than
just a colorful and compete engine bay, this REO is a true runner.
You can advance the timing from behind the wood wheel, and once
you're really rolling the torque advantages of REO's 239 cubic-inch
T6 inline-six cylinder engine really begin to be felt. This is
especially true thanks to the freedom of the floor-mounted
three-speed manual transmission, and low gear ratio for plenty of
get-up-and-go at low speeds.
Here's a fun classic that is possibly the cleanest 90+ year-old
you'll ever see. It's a turnkey old-time car, that can carry
everyone for the price of an Oldsmobile, but with a much cooler
story. Call today!!
