New to me REO

[stvaughn]

I have recently acquired what I believe to be a 1932, 6-21 Flying Cloud sedan. I have also seen references to a Model S sedan but don’t know the difference. The car has a 117 1/2” wheelbases and 6 cylinder engine. It has a firewall tag that I doubt is original that says “Special Sport Sedan” and a serial number 68204 which I believe should be 6B204. The engine has a downdraft Stromberg 92 carburetor but two references I have found indicate it should have an updraft carb. The body and interior are in very good condition. The brakes are shot and the gas tank leaks. That’s all I know so far. It was supposedly running when put in storage 25 years ago. 

 

I’ve joined the REO club but have not been granted access to the forum yet so I’ll start here. 

 

Thanks for your help, Steve 

 

Edit: changed wheelbase to 117 1/2” after measuring axle to axle. This indicates that this is a Model S but the serial number doesn’t match what the REO club data shows. 

 

Still hoping for some answers. 

 

Steve.

Beautiful Reo Steve . I sent this information to a Reo Member who has a Reo like this . He believes it is a Reo S2 and should have a down draft carburetor . If you want to speak to him send me a Private Message and I will give you his contact information . He only uses the telephone but can receive emails if that helps . Mark  1931 Reo Royale Victoria
