Royale for sale cheap?

Now that he has posted pictures of the dash it seems pretty clear it is a Flying Cloud 8-30. The Flying Cloud shared the fender treatment with the Royale but had the different radiator shell. I have a feeling that the Flying Cloud and Royale may have shared bodies (at least these open quarter sedan bodies) hence the strong resemblance.

The engine seems to be identical in appearance to the Royale engine and maybe it was a detuned version of the same? Perhaps a Reo expert can chime in here.

Now that I know just a little bit more about Royale's I thought I would bring this back up. There were two standard wheelbases 131 & 135 which designated two different model Royales. Both shared the same body but the shorter wheelbased car has 4 inches taken from the hood, louvers or 4 vents instead of 5 and a cheaper dash and some other cost savings. The wheelbase on this car looks longer than 131 but the other details seem to indicate that model. But maybe it is a Flying Cloud?
