1956 REO Speedwagon

I was driving along the highway when I spotted this old truck in a field with some other vehicles. Fortunately I had my camera with me and I stopped. As I was taking some shots the landowner came out and asked if I was interested in buying any of the vehicles. I told him no but asked if I could take some photos of his old truck. When I asked him what it was he said it was a 1956 REO Speedwagon (and here all along thought it was a music band).

I absolutely love #3. It looks like a watercolor by one of the impressionists. I can remember my grandad telling stories of plowing the roads of Connecticut in a REO back in the 40s and 50s.... No heaters in the early ones, they stoomped thier feet all night to prevent frostbite. Nice Job.

Thanks!! Obviously this poor old truck had many paint jobs. So it was way easy to photograph.
