Description

I went to a custom car show yesterday at the Texas World Speeedway near Fort Worth.there were so many creme of the crop custom cars and I walked for 3 hours with 2 cameras the truck has a six cylinder Cummins diesel The REO Motor Car Company was a Lansing, Michigan-based company that produced automobiles and trucks from 1905 to 1975. At one point the company also manufactured buses on its truck platforms. Although World War II truck orders enabled it to make something of a comeback, the company remained unstable in the postwar era. In 1954 it was sold to the Bohn Aluminum and Brass Company of Detroit, and in 1957 became a subsidiary of the White Motor Company. White then merged REO with Diamond T Trucks in 1967 to form Diamond-Reo Trucks, Inc. In 1975, this firm filed for bankruptcy in the Western District of Michigan and most of its assets were liquidated. Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I dedicate this to Dale(Tallpindo) http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/browse.php?user_id=50029 for his love of modeling and desire to share the same Thanks for looking and and comments

Customizer gone wild. I'd be afraid to take it beyond the showroom floor: my trucks all got that "used" look in a hurry. Great images.

Ah, yes..... when we were restoring our old truck and talking to lots of other folks, the general consensus was that the Diamond Rio is the creme of the crop! Great shot, Richard, they did a great job on the restoration.
