| Miscellaneous Info: | This armored car was built by the REO Motor Car Company as a potential export product. One (1) car was built using the company's Model F truck chassis and automotive components. However, no sales were forthcoming, so REO subsequently donated the vehicle to the Michigan National Guard. Although there is some debate on its use, it reportedly participated in the American 1916 Mexican Punitive Expedition. It did not see combat, but was in service patrolling the American border. |
