This REO Motor Car display is located in the St. Catharines History Museum in St. Catharines, Ontario. The car is an REO Touring Car, built in 1912.
The REO Company was founded in 1905 by Ransom E. Olds (hence the REO) who had previously founded the Olds Motor Works (later becoming Oldsmobile). They opened the St. Catharines manufacturing plant in 1910. So this car was built only two years after the plant opened. At the time it likely cost around $1,055. (Today they sell for around $25,000)
A sign states the REO display was possible due to donations in memory of Mike Guzei.
