R. E. Olds Transportation Museum

I guess Ken had enough of sitting around and watching me dither about so he suggested we go down to the R. E. Olds Museum in downtown Lansing. I’m not terrifically interested in motor vehicles but an outing sounded good. And it did turn into an interesting and enjoyable day.

Ransom E. Old’s first production gas powered motor carriage

The Curved Dash Runabout is considered the first high production automobile.

REO’s Model B

I thought this last car looked familiar so went back to look at scans my sister had made of old family photos. This is a 1910 photo of my Grandfather (on the right) in a car very much like the one above.

Here’s a link to a slide show of the above photos if you would rather look at them that way: REO.
