that’s pretty cool.. That REO Royale was a pretty good looking car. I’ve never seen it or heard about it before.

 

That was very interesting, I like the focus on the history of the REO cars and trucks. As the commentator mentioned, its hard to find info due to the name association with the band (which is one of my favorite bands from the '70s and '80s). Thanks for posting.

Another interesting tidbit contained in this video was this photo of the lighted GE sign, which looks exactly like the one that was, until ~10 years ago, perched on top of the old GE factory located in Ft. Wayne, IN:

I wouldn't doubt that similar signs were located on top of GE factories around the country. My grandfather worked at and retired from GE building electric motors. GE's campus has subsequently been renovated (gentrified?) into "Electric Works" which now contains residential, office and retail space. The old buildings and some "monuments" (overhead cranes for example) still remain.

 

This is the one in Schenectady NY I drove past last Christmas visiting family.

 

Thank you for posting this. Very cool.
