BODY perfection, completeness of fitments and mechanical 3oodness combine to make this Phaeton Reo “The Comfort Special” for local and long distance motor travel.

LERTLY responsive to all driving conditions, the rugged Reo A- 6-cylinder engine has brute power for the mountain climb or desert trail, and fleetness for the paved ways. Its sureness of performance is due to its aluminum salloy pistons and 3round cylinders,—to the 4-bearin crankshaft,—to the sensible valve placement,—to the large ports,—and to the wonderful eficiency of lubrication and cooling systems. MAJ OR power units function more smoothly and truly because they are mounted in an inner frame, the whole assembly cradled in the main frame.
