Gunsmoke Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) The sharply creased cowl and the rounded radiator shell suggest a mis-match. If rad is REO (along with chassis, headlights, fenders etc), then it is only cowl and tub that needs identifying. However, from front closeup view, frame, fenders and rad shell, headlights seem from one vehicle, but I don't see a REO with that rad shell dip on top? Dash picture should get us there shortly for main body. I'm stumped on what we have here.

Layden B Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Essex ?? They used doors that hinge at the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryanC17reo Posted June 5, 2022 Author Share Posted June 5, 2022 I'm certain the radiator and cowl is a missmatch also the radiator and shell seems to be miss match .and incorrect for the Speedwagon chassis. Thanks for everyone's effort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagefinds Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 The radiator and headlights look Mitchell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carroll_1 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 This photo of a 1922 Velie ticks a few of the cowl ID boxes with inverted hood louvres, cowl lights, cowl vent, and split lower windshield. But, the curved windshield glass and pillars don't match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't match because the wrecker has a closed car cowl and not a touring car cowl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looked at so many Internet photos I can't see the forest for trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryanC17reo Posted June 7, 2022 Author Share Posted June 7, 2022 Craig not many closed car photos of velie , nearly certain the the hood is very velie and the headlights / shell is Mitchell , getting closer , when I get to look at it personally Thursday I may find more clues , thanks for everything ,he'll know what I mean !!!!!!!

BryanC17reo Posted June 13, 2022 Author Share Posted June 13, 2022 Well I think I'm close enough to call it a 1924 -ish Cleveland coupe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lump Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 The most intriguing "clue" I see in the original photos is interesting way the headlights are mounted directly to the side of the radiator shell, instead of the more-common headlight bar attached to fenders. Is that a REO Speedwagon thing, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryanC17reo Posted June 16, 2022 Author Share Posted June 16, 2022 Lump the headlights are Mitchell that were added to the Cleveland radiator shell , Speedwagon used fork mounted lights on the fender crossbar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
