Someone requested information about his grandfather's Reo and maybe Terraplane Dealership in Tiffin , Ohio in the 1920's - 1930's . The owner was Nicholas Reinhart and his brother . Any leads would be helpful . Thanks

Anyone have some tips on how to research this Car Dealership history ?

One thing I can think of is to read newspaper back issues and look for advertisements by the dealership. Many libraries will have newspapers stored on microfilm. Depends on how big the town is, how long the newspaper stayed in business, and whether anyone bothered to microfilm the issues.

I bought the 1013 REO that was on Craig List.  I am not sure if this is the deal ship  your interested in or not.

Mark, I would contact the Chamber of Commerce in Tiffin Ohio and see if they have any info. Depending how big the town is they might also have some sort of museum that may be helpful.
