Raul1983 ◊ 2018-12-28 23:33	Why 1910? Edit: You are right that it is not a 1905 model. It is between 1908-1910. -- Last edit: 2018-12-28 23:37:04
Gamer ◊ 2018-12-28 23:36	Because of the shape of the chassis. A Reo is a Reo is a Reo until 1911, so how do we list this? 1908 had a more artsy cowl, 1909 had front headlights, it's a 1910. In 1911 Reo named their cars for the first time (Twenty-Five, Thirty, Thirty-Five) and they gained a more contemporary look. -- Last edit: 2018-12-28 23:41:37
