somorgujo Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I have a 1926 RIO roadster. I live in Argentina and we speak spanish. In my language the word REO is not a good name for a car because it means "convict". So, the importers decided, in those days, to change the name for RIO.

Guest toniuveocho Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Hi somorgujo!<O:p</O:p<O:p</O:pIn my country it also happened something like that, so brand REO recalled a prisoner, so they were marketed under the brand <ST1:pREO. As i said, the question that owner of the bus set out is that he knows it was registered in 1927, but he wants to know what year it was manufactured, it may be before 1927. Maybe chassis and engine numbers can me help, or someone could show me a page where i can investigate, at least.Could you upload pics about your REO?Greetings!<O:p</O:p<O:p</O:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toniuveocho Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 ¡Hola somorgujo! En mi país también sucedió algo parecido, pues el nombre REO recordaba a un recluso, por lo que se comercializaron con la marca RIO.Como comenté, la cuestión que me plantea el dueño del ómnibus es que sabe que está matriculado en 1927, pero quería saber en que año se fabricó, pues posiblemente sea muy anterior a 1927. Quizá por los números de chasis y de motor alguien me pueda ayudar o, al menos, indicarme alguna página donde pueda investigar.¿Podrías subir fotos de tu REO?¡Saludos!

somorgujo Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Hola amigo de la Madre Patria!. Aquí posteo los números de serie que te pueden ser de utilidad para ubicar el año de este bus que, dicho sea de paso, es muuuuuuy anterior a 1927 ya que el motor "ciego" y de 4 cilindros está indicando su antigüedad. También subo alguna foto de mi REO ó RIO 1926 que, lamentablemente, he puesto en venta recientemente sin poder disponerme a restaurarla. Bueno, aquí van las fotos:Hello friend from Motherland!. Here I post the serial numbers that can be useful for you to locate the year bus which, by the way, predates a lot to 1927 (the "blind" 4-cylinder engine indicates it as I guess). Also uploaded a picture of my REO or RIO 1926 that unfortunately have put on sale recently unable to prepare to restore it. Well, here are the photos: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Gregory Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) I asked at the Reo Club for you . The response was this. My book shows numbers only up to Aug 1926. This motor number was made after August 1st 1926.The chassis number would indicate that it was probably made around May June 1926. Nothing based on actual facts.__._,_.___ Show message history<img width="1" height="1" style="border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; "> <img width="1" height="1" style="border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; "> Edited June 22, 2014 by Mark Gregory (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toniuveocho Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Thanks, Mark Gregory!Let's see, so I'm getting into a mess:I'm checking docs which somorgujo shared, but I found following question: 1920 are manufactured chassis numbers from 12003 to 24300, ok. But…1908 was produced chassis numbers form 10501 to 13985; 1909, from 17001 to 21527; and 1910 from 21528 to 25000. Then, why in 1920 return to the 12003 numbers until the 24300? :confused:I hope well have set out my doubt.Thanks a lot!
