On a related note...anyone here know where the rock band... REO Speedwagon got their name from?
Hint: Ransom Eli Olds (of Oldsmobile fame) designed a new truck, and came out with the REO Speed Wagon in 1915...a four cylinder 1 ton model that aimed to be faster (speedy) than contemporary trucks of the time period.
Just learned that too somewhere on Motortrend also!!! I think it was there!!! Is that where you learned? It was only about a week ago and I saw it somewhere on TV I'm pretty sure and I was thinking "Ohhhh, that's where they got their name"! Was it something with Jay Leno and/or My Classic Car?
