Ancestor of the pickup truck.

Ancestor of the pickup truck. I didn’t know that this was a truck before it was a rock band. “The REO Speed Wagon (alternatively Reo Speedwagon) was a light motor truck model manufactured by REO Motor Car Company. It is an ancestor of the pickup truck.” It debuted in 1915 and kept going through at least 1953, showing up as everything from delivery trucks to hearses. ~ learn more
