Hi, I need a 6 bolt 30 Durant wire wheel in just about ANY condition. I have a very good wheel that has had the center hole torched out. I want to machine my wheel, cut the center from the junk wheel and mate the two.
Thanks,
Dave

Here is an interesting link to an article written on Sunday, July 22, 1928 and published in Los Angeles Examiner. The story is about a Durant Roadster racing against a human track runner. It may have been a tie in with the 1928 Olympics in the Netherlands.

Mike I sent a few pictures of my new project. The restauration of a Star depot hack model c 1923 to Rick a year ago and I never had news of that. If something wrong I will like to know. Louis
I showed my Car today and took (1) of 20 trophys. I was asked how many cars like mine (1923 A-22 4 Dr. Sedan) are there. Answer I do not know. So this is a question for our historian. How many of this model are around? Up and running or at least being restored.

I am from Kansas and have found a Durant car. I think it is either an M4 or a model 40. It is in fair shape. There is little to no rust holes in the body. The front and rear bumpers, and the tire carrier are missing. The canvas top is gone. Everything is in great sha...
