Genuine balloon tires, plus many famous Reo 
features, put more comfort, more safety, more 
economy and more reliability into motoring, and — combined 
with the high-powered 6-cylinder engine, truly emphasize Reo 
as “The Gold Standard of Values.” 
The 5 -Passenger Sedan 
is one of the five Reo 
high-powered six-cylin¬ 
der passenger cars. 
Beauty of line matches 
with interior refinement 
and comfort qualities. 
The price is $1985 at 
Lansing, plus tax. Genu¬ 
ine, full size balloon tires 
$100 extra.

npHERE are balloon tires for easier riding and safer driving. Low 
pressure air cushions the car and occupants by making the tires 
absorb the road shocks. Greater tire-to-road contact prompts 
quick, skid-free brake action; allows caterpillar ease in climbing out 
of ruts and traveling through sand and mud. 
There is the double-frame mounting of power units, by which engine, 
transmission, radiator and electrical system are cradled low in the 
inner frame, in turn suspended in the main frame. It prevents 
the transmission ofjolts and jars to vital parts,—promotes smoother 
driving action,—diminishes wear on the whole power line. 
There is the dual foot control,—a marked safety feature. Left 
pedal throws out clutch and applies service brake at one operation; 
right pedal applies emergency brake. No hand lever to fumble for. 
Pedals are large, rubber-covered and quickly positive. 
There are oversized, super-powerful brakes operating on the rear 
wheels. The bands are 15 inches in diameter, the faces 2inches 
wide, providing unusually large braking area in relation to car weight. 
There is remarkable road sureness, due to the low hung chassis, the 
rational distribution of chassis weight and a low center of gravity 
of the front end assembly. 
There is remarkable steering ease due to the distinctively Reo type 
of steering gear. Ideally suited for use on balloon-tired cars, it 
promotes effortless steering and easier parking.
