Description
REO was founded by Ransom Eli Olds, who previously started Oldsmobile. Today, REO is indirectly a part of the Volvo truck group.
This car comes from the now closed car museum in Gillstad, outside Lidköping, where a radio dealer had taken old vehicles in exchange since the 1950s. The cars and motorcycles then showed up in his private museum.

Facts about the model
First introduced in 1915, production continued through at least 1953 and made REO (the initials of its founder, Ransom Eli Olds) one of the better known manufacturers of commercial vehicles prior to World War II. Although the basic design and styling of the chassis remained consistent, the Speed Wagon was manufactured in a variety of configurations (pickup and panel truck, passenger bus) to serve as delivery, tow, dump, and fire trucks as well as hearses and ambulances. Other manufacturers provided refits for adapting the Speed Wagon for specialized purposes. The Speed Wagon used REO's "Gold Crown" series of engines and was well regarded for power, durability, and quality.
