Mark Gregory Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Thanks for posting the photo John . My friend says the car is in pieces it has a Victoria body and a hood with 5 vents on it . He is not sure what model of Reo it could be . He is wondering if the radiator shell could be off another Reo model due to previous damage . He also wonders if he is looking at a Reo Royale Victoria 8 -35 ? Due to the Victoria body or did other Reo's use this body also . Thanks , Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jliptrap Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 1930 Flying Cloud, me thinks...Sorry, definitely not 1930 Flying Cloud. I own one. The emblem is wrong and the shell did not have vertical slats. My guess is a REO truck from the mid-1930'sJim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldford Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 You should measure the wheelbase. Flying Clouds had 116, 120, 125, and 130 in wheelbase models. To my knowledge they had louvers and not vent doors in the hood. The 8-35 (135" wheelbase) (Royale) had the doors. There was also a smaller Royale model 8-31 with 131 inch wheelbase. This also had louvers instead of doors in the hood. The wheelbase is the key....Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Gregory Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Thank you everyone for responding to the question . My friend finally saw the car and the proper radiator shell was there . The other Radiator shell was extra . The car is an 1931 Reo Royale Victoria 8 - 35 . My friend has purchased the car . Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
