From 1927 to 1935, the REO Motor Car Company built the luxury-class Flying Cloud automobile with an inline six-cylinder engine in various versions. The cars were characterized by above-average performance and high reliability and were also sold in large numbers. Only a few of them remain, as the company has long since given up building cars. This driving report describes impressions and technology of the Flying Cloud model and takes a look back at the history of the vehicle, supplemented by pictures of today and then.
