Hello Everyone,
I've been the proud owner of this 619 durant Vin#1010 for about 4 years now but am coming to the realization that it probably needs to be in someone elses hands. I'm into chopping and sectioning old 30's cars and building traditional 50's era style...

I emailed the seller of the 1926 Star Coupe, auction # 190521096244, concerning the doors on the car. These doors have a belt line bead whereas the rest of the body is plain with no bead.
His reply was: That is the way it left the factory. I can tell you that they a...

I have recently begun the disassembly and restoration process of the Durant body to replace some of the rotted wood in the lower areas. Research shows that the Hayes-Hunt Co. used Ash wood for its good qualities (ie., strong, lightweight, minimum warpage, and minimum...
I have 4 dish wheels, rims & tires off my 1923 Durant. The tires hold air but are dryrotted. The removable split rims have been tack welded to the dish wheel. I think the welds could be cut to go back to original, but not sure. 2 wheels have no center hub & 2 wheels...

I know it is not exactly where they live, but let's hope that Graham and June Mock went unscathed in the recent earthquake in New Zealand. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all!
I'm flying to Australia on business Friday (U.S. time) and may have the weekend after that(27 and 28 March) to myself in the Sydney area. If there is a Durant event (or any old car event) then I'd appreciate hearing about it. Thanks.
