The 1928-29 wire wheeled cars had a small cap and e...

Does anyone remember the '29 Durant Depot Hack on Ebay?
Well, it's now at home in Texas. It's in remarkable condition, even for it's age, and needs very little to go driving. I'll get it unloaded tomorrow and take a couple of pics to show it off.

Therefore, if anyone has a Star M or R coupe with an original top, would...
Is a gasket used at all for the glass headlight lens? If so, is it used between the reflector and glass headlight lens or between the lens and the ring cover.
Probably old news, but interesting article on DeVaux history in Antique Automobile of March/April 1972 by the late Richard Larrowe. The Hall-Scott engine in these cars has a remarkable pedigree.
Just wanting to verify something for my 1931 model 619. I had a rear axle/differential that I got years ago set up recently. Had a knowledgeable differential guy check it out and make adjustments. Only issue remaining is that the brake cable coming out of the backing...

I recently found an Durant Emblem from early years while metal detecting an 1800.s house. After researching a bit I am loving these collector cars. I cant tell how early it is, are there any noticable differences between 1922-1926? It has a Silver Dragon and still ha...

Does anyone know what grade bolts the factory used on the 1930-31 Durants.
Mine are 2" long 7/16" and 14 tread pitch 7/16X2-14

Many years ago I was in fairly close touch with Jeff Gillis, and was not sure what year my Star was. The car had a 1925 title, but It looked like some 1926's I had seen pictures of. Jeff looked at the serial numbers of the car and said he was possitive it was a 1926....
