Morning folks,

Apparently, there are only a couple of examples in the UK of this model. Certainly a good-looker IMO, and going by the old b&W photo it was once used on the fairgrounds to haul an organ to events.

It never ceases to amaze me how folks can get their eBay listings wrong. This is listed by a professional vehicle sales unit, so is it a Reo or a Bedford? is it blue - as in the pictures, or Brown as in the data.

One of the problems is, in recent years a great many people have become involved with American vehicles, with the sole aim of making money. They are not enthusiasts and they don't really know what they are talking about.

A rare lorry indeed in original UK guise. REO, Diamond T, Chevrolet weren't uncommon over here pre-war.
