Would like to find a '34-'35 REO Speedwagon. Wouldn't everybody? Basket-cases preferred.
Dad just swapped a AA truck for a pile of parts that used to be a 1933 Franklin Olympic. The Olympic was a REO car with a Franklin air-cooled engine. Dad's already restored one of these Olympics, which he still owns, and he's not excited about repeating all the woodwork for another foor-door sedan.
Seeing as how REO built pickups on this same chassis, we think it would be pretty cool to build an air-cooled Speedwagon. All we really need is the back of the cab. All we need is a few critical scraps, and this project would fall into the doo-able category.
