I have a good, spare W4 block and head as well as a couple of starter motor brackets that fit a W4 block. Does anyone need any of these parts? They are in Guelph, ON; so shipping the block could be expensive.

Durant 4 door Sedan (ORIGINAL CALIFORNIA CAR) Item number: 160221668501
Nothing looks 6-14 but more 1929 70, with all the wood, rad shell, etc.
I want to thank Arthur for all the helpful info for my 1929 Durant. I purchased a carb from him, also, he told me about a rear fender he had seen in the swap meet that led to me finding the missing rear fender for my sedan.
Thanks again,

Has anyone ever seen a 22 Star emblem with a red Star instead of the usual white star? I once bought a repro emblem from Jeff Gillis that had a red star, and I have seen a photo of an emblem with the red star. Could it be possible the very early 22's had the red star...
