Thanks Don! That explains the fenders. Now all I need is a confirmation on the VIN years.

Bill: Going by the numbers you have given for these two Star R cars the Coupe with Serial # E-229XX is a 1927 production year model and the Roadster with serial # L-342xx is a 1928 production year model. Durant made most of their serial numbering system confusing for everyone, although cars were produced in specific year the vehicle model might not be classified as the same year of production. Durant model year numbering for the most part went from Aug 1st. of that year to July 31st of the following year.

1926 Star model R # 1001 - 15,999
1927 Star model R # 16,000 - 32,999
1928 Star model R # 33,000 - 40,000
Same serial number ranges used at all Factories, L, C, E, & T

Thanks Steve!
I had a suspicion it was a 1928 when I noticed the beltline differences between the Coupe and Roadster. Thanks so much for your time explaining this to me. Not much Star info out there!

Looks like my registry information will have to be changed. Who do I contact for that?

Bill I have taken over the Registry after Terry's passing, apparently there is some web site cliches or ownership rights which prevent the club from updating it currently, but it's in the works to be straightened out in the near future, until then I have the records and keep adding or correcting as new details come forth, please froward you info to me via e-mail or there is a new form in this issue of the Durant Partner you can mail in to Bob or myself, either way the info will eventually end up with me. Glad I could be of help in sorting out the Durant serial numbers nightmare.
