John_S_in_Penna Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Mark, can you take an extra minute and please post the text of the ad and the contact information for the cars to which you alert us? This car will likely still be available long after your link is dead. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gregory Posted June 19, 2016 Author Share Posted June 19, 2016 John I have enough trouble with my computer getting the link posted . I have to email it to someone then copy and paste then post the link . It does not seem to work any other way . Since I am doing all the leg work why don't you post all the information on the listing ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Perkins / Mn Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Thank you Mark for all the "heads-up" postings that you make of interesting cars for sale. Keeps us entertained and dreaming! Sooner or later I will find the right one and jump on it. This really does look like a nice car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syncros007 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 (Not mine either, just posting ad) "1924 REO T6 Brougham -$14000 (NE KY) This car was fully restored in the early 1980's by my father. It won many trophies in it's day! Soon after completing it he parked it on some lifts, drained all the necessary fluids out of it and parked it under a covered carport. It has been sitting since so the sheet metal has a little rust but overall it is in great shape for being nearly a century old. It has not been started in probably 20 years. I tried to get pictures as best I could for the lighting conditions but obviously pulling it out into the sun was not possible. The top is in great shape and all the parts and pieces are fully in tact. All windows work, the doors open and close correctly and the wood on the interior looks amazing. He installed a simple "stop" or brake lamp on the rear to make it drivable on todays roads. Obviously this is a very rare car and older REO's are increasingly hard to come by. The story of R.E. Olds is pretty interesting and they later turned to trucks after the great depression. I made a simple walk around video and posted it to youtube.com so you can see the car a little better. The link is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLJZdQ7aqvc When my father was rebuilding the car he told me it was the ONLY one in the world. I am not sure if there is another but I have never seen one exactly like this one. Spreading the word that it is for sale would be greatly appreciated! Feel free to email me if you would like to see it in person. I am posting it here first to see if it stays local before moving to classic auto trader or another listing site."

Mark, I suppose you've tried the easy way, but in case it will help, I'll describe it. For IBM-type, Windows computers, go to the upper bar where the web address is displayed. Run your cursor over the web address (or any text) to highlight it; then while it's highlighted, right-click with your mouse and choose "Copy" from the menu that appears. Then, once you're on the forum posting, right-click and select "Paste" where you want the copied text to be deposited. If this works for you, the copy-and-paste will take about 5 seconds, and we'll be treated to many more interesting ads that you find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gregory Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 Thanks I have an Apple computer and recently had it updated . It used to work by high lighting the text . Now it high lights the text and will not copy it at all . I have to email and try sometimes the next day to copy it and it will work fine . So you tell me what goes on ? I am not a computer wiz kid . I like the post you make also . Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Mark, I've never used an Apple computer, so I can't tell you anything about them. Sometimes, it's thought that the younger a person is, the more he knows about computers. So I'll have to ask my 3-year-old cousin, once she puts down her stuffed animals and tea set--- oh, wait, maybe not! That Reo sedan you posted is quite unusual. In the early 1920's, you probably know, closed cars were much more expensive than open cars and sold in limited quantities. Touring cars are far more common.

Mark Gregory Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 I owned a 1926 Reo T6 Sedan in 1976 . The interior was very plain and did not look fancy at all like this car . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
