Not too far down the road emerged another fine REO. This one belongs to Wes Tarr of Milwaukee, Oregon. It seems that in June of 1933 a young man in Oakland, California, purchased a new 1933 REO Sport Coupe Flying Cloud for his new bride to be, and without her knowledge had it delivered to the steps of the church while they were being married. When the newly married couple came out of the church, and the car was presented to his bride, she was so taken by the car she immediately named her car "Rosebud".

In the early 1950's the family and the REO moved to Portland, Oregon, where the husband worked for the telephone company. In the mid 1950's the husband had a heart attack and died. Because of this event the widow moved from their very large home into a mobile home that had room for only one car and the REO being the older car it had to go. She found storage space for "Rosebud" at a mink farm owned by a family friend. Later on this farm was closed down but the REO continued on in its resting place. It was here that Wes Tarr discovered "Rosebud" on a Sunday afternoon in 1990. It was a miracle that he found the car because the entire farm and the car were completely overgrown with blackberry bushes. It was not only out of sight, but also almost out of reach.

Well, Wes successfully retrieved the REO to find that he had a very rare jewel on his hands. It was not only a Flying Cloud, but also it had a self-shifter transmission and had special sloping front fenders not found in any other 1933 Sport Coupe. After nine years of careful and meticulous restoration work by Wes and his wife Opal, they have a very beautiful and solid car. Because this REO started out as a wedding gift, Wes and Opal continue to involve "Rosebud" in their daughter's wedding, their son's wedding, and other wedding events.
