That's why Pete De Paolo, speed-king of America, bought a Flying Cloud for his own use-—when he's not burning up the bricks at Indianapolis; that's why he joined the Reo sales-forces in South- ern California and is making a great sales-record—and hosts of new friends —in that toughest of all markets. It's why he asked—and received —per- mission to christen his world’schampion race-car—the car that in 1927 carried him to his second world’s speedwa! championship—*'Flying Cloud Special. His racingcar is not a Reo Flyin Cloud: neither is the Reo Flying Ciou: a racing-car. But they're both thoroughbreds. They're both built to stand out above the rank and file. They're both built to stand the gaff-—to “‘go through,” in other words. The Reo Flying Cloud has received no finer tribute—and it has received many ——than Pete De Paolo paid it when he gave its name to his own championship racing-car, and identified himself with the organization that builds it.

To the gruelling tests of the Speedway —at Culver City, at Indianapolis, at the Monza Grand Prix—is due a large art of present-day automobile design. he 500-mile classic is the laboratory which has gradually evolved and re- vealed the possibilities of speed and power and acceleration—and endurance —without a resort to cumbersome size and weight. But racing speed is for the Speedway —not for the public highway. That’s why the Flying Cloud is not built to do “100 miles an hour.” It's why we don’t even claim 100 miles an hour. It will do more than 75 miles an hour —75 honest miles. And that's fast enough. It's faster than the average driver ever wants to go. And it 's faster than the average driver ever has safe and lawful opportunity to drive. But the possession of that 75-miles-per- hour capacity implies the possession of other characteristics that the average driver does want—the flashing acecl- eration that gets him away from the traffic-barrier ahead of the pack; the “zoom"’ that picks up the traffic pock- ““Gee, the wife will be sore when I get home tonight!” And well she might, for how is she to know that he must work overtime to finish the job?
