The REO Motor Car Company was a Lansing. Michigan-based company that produced automobiles and trucks from 1905 to 1975. At one point the company also manufactured buses on its truck platforms and even has a rock band named after them : REO Speed Wagon!

Ransom E. Olds was an entrepreneur who founded multiple companies in the automobile industry. In 1897 Olds founded the Olds Motor Vehicle Company (later. as Oldsmobile. to become a part of General Motors). In 1905 Olds left Oldsmobile and established a new company. REO Motor Car Company. in Lansing. Michigan. Olds had 52 percent of the stock and the titles of president and general manager. To ensure a reliable supply of parts. he organized a number of subsidiary firms like the National Coil Company. the Michigan Screw Company. and the Atlas Drop Forge Company.

Originally the company was to be called "R. E. Olds Motor Car Company. but the owner of Olds' previous company. then called Olds Motor Works. objected and threatened legal action on the grounds of likely confusion of names by consumers. Olds then changed the name to his initials.

The Flying Cloud was the first car to use Lockheed's new hydraulic internal expanding brake system and featured styling by Fabio Segardi. While Ned Jordan is credited with changing the way advertising was written with his "Somewhere West of Laramie" ads for his Jordan Playboy. Reo's Flying Cloud—a name that provoked evocative images of speed and lightness—changed the way automobiles would be named in the future. It has a 115" wheelbase. The final REO model of 1936 was a Flying Cloud.

Competition to this REO in 1930 included Auburn's 125. Cadillac's V-16. Duesenberg's SJ Phaeton. Imperial's Limousine. Lincoln's L-series Limousine and Marmon's Series 16.

MotoExotica. com is a licensed bonded dealer through the state of Missouri. We have been in business since 1988 selling high end. special interest. pre-owned and exotic vehicles.

With the advent of the Internet and EBay Motors. we have found an avenue that allows us to sell cars we normally purchased for ourselves. We have owned just about every exotic and luxury car known to man; such as ISO Grifo to Jaguar XKE. Lamborghini Countach and Rolls Royce.

In the past. these cars were sold primarily through Hemmings Motor News and through word of mouth. We would normally keep a car and enjoy it personally for 6 – 18 months. However. with listing cars on EBay Motors. our turnover has tremendously increased. Now. the average time we hold a car is 4 – 6 weeks!

With the increase in turnover has come the increased need of fine automobiles. We are constantly looking for exceptional cars and travel the country coast to coast in search of the rare and unusual. We find our cars through individuals like yourselves as well as classic car and dealers auctions. We do not purchase vehicles that we would not be proud to own ourselves.
