At the DMAC national meet (where everyone had a great time!) I was asked to resend the data sheets for our Historical Data Project.
I have send the forms to all who asked for them.
We are trying to get as much data as possible on each and every car in the club. We know there are differences even on the same model so write down what YOU have with any comments or additions you may come upon.
I have set up a new email address for any questions or completed forms. Please use this new address so I can keep track of all inputs on this project.
The address is (durantcardata@gmail.com)
If you or anyone else needs copies of the blank data sheets let me know and I will add the names to the mail list.
Thanks for your assistance – DJ Federlein

Do You own a car built by Durant? 1930 Durant 6-14 Deluxe Sedan
This is a little of your topic but has many of the same elements as your trying to collect and just as important to the Durant Motors history and accuracy of all vehicle facts. Was there anyone or any discussion at the National Meet about sending or handing out Vehicle Registration Forms? Something that I have requested executive and chapter presidents and encouraged members to do,I have spent hundreds of hours chasing down information on any Durant connected vehicle worldwide and have had added many vehicles that might never make this Registry because there is only a few of us who care enough and are committed enough to take the time and to get the correct details for generations to come. Much of my time is spent on our own forum chasing downs members vehicles that I see that are not currently on the Registry with little success. I wish you luck in your endeavor.

Do You own a car built by Durant? No I own a 1933 C-400 Frontenac built by Dominion Motors of Canada
What about a car like mine-- It is a 30 Durant deluxe rumble seat coupe but it is a compilation of three different cars--I wouldn't know where to start looking for numbers . No tag on floorboards ( there was no floorboards) . Let me know what to look for and I will try to send in the info . I have been to all the club meetings and still don't know what I should be looking for.

Hey Ken;
When you get the pages from DJ on the project, just take the sheets and fill out what you can. Of course he doesn't expect you to take your wheels off and see what the bearing numbers are, but some of the other type and numbers might be visible, such as starter, generator etc. This is a great project for the club to help those after us have a documented history of what are cars are and what parts were on them. Sure it's not going to be 100% accurate because over the years people have added parts and substituted parts, but when they get a good representation, the data will fall into place on what the majority of cars had on them when they were new. Thanks for doing this for the club Ken!
