FOR REO · EAST TEXAS

Built for the revival.

Ready to create for REO.

Simple trucks. Honest design. Enthusiast storytelling that gets people to put $25 down — and stay for the long haul.

Who I Am

James Stanley

I’m an art director and automotive creative from Southern California — born into tuner culture, raised on car meets, builds and shoots. My renderings of the 2019 Focus ST were featured in the Ford Motor Company booth at SEMA. I know how enthusiasts talk, what they share, and what gets a build noticed.

Before that, I was a Navy combat photojournalist and Military Photographer of the Year, then ran digital marketing and custom builds at Vista Ford Lincoln. Today I’m in Mineola, East Texas — close enough to Dallas to be in the room when REO needs me. I create fast, ship same-day, and love a small team.

Why REO?

Ransom Olds built the first mass-produced American automobile. REO is reviving that spirit — honest, repairable, American-built trucks for people who want to own what they drive.

Right-to-repair and Ameri-Kei simplicity are a story enthusiasts already want to share. A lean team needs someone who can turn that into hype, content and community — fast.

I come from tuner culture, I live in East Texas, and I can be on-site in Dallas whenever the team needs hands, a camera, or a fresh idea.
