DLynskey Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Since the photo was taken in front of a REO dealer I'm guessing REO.Photo of a 1910 REO: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLynskey Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Chris, you beat me to the ID while I was searching for the photo. I wondered what the device was on the front. I believe the original photo is better than the one I took. I guess I need to learn to use Photoshop.Don L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I like the rear windows in the Reo in the old photo. I'm curious about the unit mounted near the bottom of the radiator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Other interesting differences between the two cars pictured:1. Spare tire mount and fuel supply for headlights swapped.2. Dashboard height Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I believe the big item in question is an early electric starter system. I didn't know that Abe Lincoln had a REO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vintman Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Hi,Seems that the catalogue photo in the original Stearns thread has changed to one about friction drive. See below for what was there originally about the Eveready, thanks to LaydenB.RegardsVinman (UK)www.svvs.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
