I ran into a person when I was at the Carlyle Pa swap meet a couple of weeks ago that is looking to sell some Antique car doors. He says that he has 3 doors and they were from a 1927 Durant/Star touring car. If anyone is interested in them, call Denis at (814)-754-51...

I was looking at pictures of a 1928 Whippet. It looks so much like my 29 Durant, that they could have come from the same factory? Does anyone know if they have common parts? Looks like maybe just the radiator shell, headlight buckets and bumpers are different. (...

It's very disappointing, but only one person registered for the spring meet in Salisbury, North Carolina. So since there was no interest the meet is being cancelled. Maybe in the fall we will try again.
I have finally removed the body of my coupe! I was worried that it would come off in pieces but with the help of some strategically placed ratchet straps and 2x4's it made it in one chunk. Now I am ready to begin the dismantle of the chassis. Does anyone have any...

Hello fellow club members. I am in need of a good servicable Clum switch for a 1929 model 60. This is the ignition and lighting combination switch that mounts on the dash. Thank you, Bruce Hargin.
Answer this question;
How did you find your Durant/Star/Rugby/Locomobile/Flint motorcar?
If you don't own a Durant product, then how did you learn of Durant and/or his company?

I purchased a couple of Durants and a bunch of parts at an auction last summer. One of them according to the title is a 1929 Serial 5200, rumble seat coupe. The car was at one time titled a foreign country, I assume, Canada. I've been trying to determine just what mo...
