 David Williams writes: I stumbled upon a estate barn find and purchased the car from the granddaughter of a man who bought the car 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 junk yard dog style for decades. This was not only a barn find but a true period rat rod!.As I research I learned we had an obscure model a Wolverine. Serial number BA1722. I also noticed in research no phaetons made or advertised, NOTHING on the internet. In '29 the Wolverine became the MATE there are 2 or 3 known MATE phaetons. REO Club thought are this a Mate but (I think) they are wrong, this must be a Wolverine and if my hunch is correct possibly 1 of 1. My theory early on was it was special ordered for the desert climate where it obvously spent it's full life. The REO OLds museum is baffled so far by the strange serial #. My research shows B. to indicate Wolverine and A. to indicate Flying Cloud which includes a 4passenger roadster....Makes sense to me...Please, any input including best venue to sell is most welcome David Willams. Well David, regarding 'best venue to sell'. WE don't want to be presumptuous, but by posting the car for sale at PreWarCar.com, you'll have hard time finding a better place...we think.
