It is unusual for s* | company to introduce an entirely new automobile . . . Yet Reo produced two new lines of automobiles in 1927, new from stem to stern, from road to roof.

Reo did the seemingly impos- sible twice in 1927—two new lines, Flying Clouds and Wolverines—and not a “bug’’ in either . . . Then Reo did the seemingly impossible again by bringing out the new Speed Wagons—13 in all and not a “‘bug”’ in the whole L:ne.
