"I stumbled upon an estate barn find and purchased the car from the granddaughter of a man who bought it from a wrecking yard in El Paso, Texas. In the dark barn I saw the "V6" and the wrong type of wheels. In fact I saw a cool low-dollar driver. Once I got it home I realized the V6 was a V8 and had been with the car for decades. Parts were tacked on and repaired junkyard dog-style for decades. This was not only a barn find but a true period rat rod! As I researched, I learned we had an obscure model - a Wolverine, serial number BA1722. In my research, I saw no evidence of any phaetons being made or advertised; there is nothing on the internet.

"In '29 the Wolverine became the MATE and there are two or three known MATE phaetons. The REO Club's thoughts are that this a Mate but I think they are wrong - this must be a Wolverine and, if my hunch is correct, possibly one of one. My theory early on was that it was a special ordered for the desert climate where it obvously spent its whole life. The REO Olds Museum is baffled so far by the strange serial number. My research shows 'B' to indicate Wolverine and 'A' to indicate Flying Cloud, which includes a four-passenger roadster... It makes sense to me... Please, any input including the best venue to sell is most welcome."

 Well, David, regarding 'best venue to sell', we don't want to be presumptuous, but by advertising the car for sale at PreWarCar.com, you'll have hard time finding a better place, we think. Why not try a first free advert (CLICK)?
