1922 REO T6-B TOURING for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.15) based on 105 votes

This is a fine example of a classic 1920's Touring car built by the REO motor car company.     Was purchased by current owner in 2017 and on the local 'show' circuit with occasional neighborhood drives.    Runs GREAT!

Was restored by prior owner who passed away.    An immaculate restoration with serious attention to detail.

1 or 2 paint chips, but nothing that requires repaint of panels.    No issues mechanically.   Does occasionally slight, (oil) smoke 

on startup, then clears.  

2X Winner in Hilton Head Concours "Best American Manufacturer" and "Classics 1920's"

Only reason for sale is making room in warehouse for new motorhome...

SELLER WILL ASSIST IN OBTAINING RELIABLE SHIPPER FOR BUYER IF NEEDED.   (We've shipped a lot of cars...)

(REO History below) 

 

 Ransom Eli Olds founded “Olds Motor Works” in Lansing, MI in 1897 and was

 known as the “Oldsmobile”.  

 

In growing the company,  Ransom E. Olds was involved in a dispute with investors and quit to start his own company named “REO” (for Ransom Eli Olds),  in 1904.   

However, those Investors kept the “Olds and Oldsmobile” name for themselves.   

 

Like most new companies, REO struggled at first, but by 1908 had sold over 4100 REO's compared to Olds selling a little over 1000 Oldsmobiles.    Oldsmobile was now part of the new General Motors.

 

In 1912, REO made history when Fonce V. Haney and Thomas W. Wilby drove a REO touring car 4,176 miles from Halifax, NS to Vancouver, BC.

 

REO did well up until the Great Depression and suffered in car sales like most car companies of the day however, they had branched into a solid truck building business, REO Speedwagon, and discontinued car manufacturing in 1936 focusing exclusively on trucks.  

 

In WWII,  REO produced several military vehicles, in the truck line and saw success through 1967 when they 

Merged with Diamond-T Trucks and became “Diamond REO” until that company's bankruptcy in 1975.

 

Production facts are limited, but we believe this to be one of only 400 or so T6-B's produced.
