I am currently 1200 km from home working. I will send a nice picture of it in the bush. I was supposed to have bought 6 Rugby's . Now it's 5 Rugby's and a chev. I have enough parts to build approximately 10 full cars and still collecting. I'm still young and collecting with a goal to restore them all one day. I drag them out of farm paddocks etc. when I find them.
Will send photos as soon as I can. And a thanks for the guidance on identifying the ring-in
Don you may have nailed it. Also looks like a mid 20’s Cheverolete perhaps? Have a pic of one very similar but working off my iPhone while on the road today and not going to attempt to post an image here yet. Google may offer some pictures to compare it to.

So you have a Rugby Superior ha ha. Not the first time our cars are mishmash of other vehicles. There was one earlier this year with a 1948 engine in it (Kaiser engine ??) Few years back a lad was trying to identify his Star with the F rad shell and crest. Only thing Durant on the car was the shell / crest. Body off a brass era car, brass lights 1900's, Ford T steering column / front wheels / cut front axe, engine from some German farm machine of the teens. We never did determine what the rear wheels and odd hub caps were from.
Where Are You From? Ottawa Ont
Do You own a car built by Durant? 1932 Dominion built 614 Sedan
