I Read/ Heard That At Least Two Stories Circulated Regarding The Band's Name. One Story Is That REO Speedwagon Stands For Red Engine Orange Speed wagon, Which Was A Fire Truck. The Second Story Was That Reo Speedwagon Was Named After The Station Wagon Which The Band Would Travel In. I Recall Reading In REO Speedwagon,s Wikipedia Page That The Band Actually Got Their Name From A Vehicle That General Motors Used To Manufacture- The REO Speedwagon, Which Apparently Was A Truck. GM Gave REO Speedwagon The Rights To The REO Speedwagon Name In 1971.
