Remembering the Reo and the Perry Highway Expeditions
A childhood reminiscence recalls a bright Reo car from 1911 or 1912, family trips to Perry, Kansas, and the Golden Belt highway. The author describes muddy hills, help from a farmer with horses, and a lively clash with Tony Bukaty over Buick versus Reo while grandparents watch from Perry.
