1932 REO 8-35 Royale Navigation
Ransom Eli Olds was successful in selling his Curved Dash Oldsmobile, but when he resisted dropping it in favor of a more modern, expensive automobile he was forced out of his own company. Unable to use the Oldsmobile name, he started a new company using his initials.
This 1932 REO Royal Convertible Coupe with Murray coachwork, is one of only three known to exist today. The Royale featured one-step lever-action chassis lubrication, thermostatically controlled radiator shutters, large 15-inch Lockheed four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes, and four-wheel leaf springs.
The Model B-350 was equipped with a 125 hp, 358 cubic inch straight-eight cylinder engine coupled to a four-speed manual transmission with a vacuum-controlled clutch.
The $3,000 price tag guaranteed a top speed of 90 mph.
