Identification of CAR 1923 needed !

[TheDane]

Hi T-Netters
I need your help on this one.

This is an old photo of one of my family members who immigrated to the USA.
This picture from the 1920s is in our picture album.
Notice that under the number plate it says MASS. 1923 (Massachusetts 1923)

Can anyone IDENTIFY THE CAR for me ??

Thank you in advance !!

I don't know why, but Willies Knight comes to mind.

To be honest, the car looks like something in the 30's. Are you sure of the license plate date

Can you zoom in on the hood ornament?

One odd feature is the headlight with that square bracket looking thing on top

Nova Treasure is correct! Nice ID. check point for point in both pictures and you will see all are exactly the same down to the back window and body lines on the front fenders. Its a 1923 Reo model t-6 touring very nice

Nova nailed it.Don't know about the REO auto but the Reo trucks really sucked.I caught a ride in one while hitch-hiking in OK and after 20mi and an hour and a half I got out of that thing.

Agree for sure. Headlights and everything else. Nice job Nova. How did you guess that so quick?

Thanks everyone, the first part of my screen name Nova (chevy2 nova) is the other favorite of my hobbies. I Love old cars and actually knew what his car was when i seen it, but took alittle time to find a pic to prove it .

I wrote the thread yesterday evening, and when I woke up this morning it was solved !! GREAT
Thank you, Nova Treasure !!

Can you tell me more about the car. I have never heard of the mark Reo before.
Was it an expensive car ... etc.
