I would like to share my surprise from the local laborday car show.Class A 1900 to 1945 stock auto. participant's choice. The Star got third place it was a pleasant surprise.
Here is an interesting link to an article written on Sunday, July 22, 1928 and published in Los Angeles Examiner. The story is about a Durant Roadster racing against a human track runner. It may have been a tie in with the 1928 Olympics in the Netherlands.

Is there anyone interested in the 22A 6 cyl on ebay
(4565942040)? I would be if it wasn't in AZ. It would take too much travel or $ and since I have a running 6 cyl in my '31 plus another in a basket, I'll have to pass. Maybe they'r not rare or the '30-'31s that n...
Anyone out there have an extra early Durant, Star or Flint radiator emblem they want to get rid of or sell. Prefer one in good condition, but small chips will not rule it out. Email me with condition and price.
I've posted two pictures submitted by Ricardo Colombo

I saw on ebay, a antique auto club register 1957 writeup says it lists cars with serial numbers and owners names. Item # 6545714706 might be of some interest to see if any Durants or Stars listed.
I know I'm probably whizzing in the wind here.....but would any one out there have a pair of door latches for a 30 roadster? I also need one rumble seat grab handle and one top rest/tiedown. I'd even be interested in a photo of the latches.
Thanks,
Dave

My Dad look the lid off of this 29 Durant 6-66 many years ago. There are plates mounted to the lid with 2 holes in each. There are slots in the side metal panels that would line up. The hard ware to connect is missing, can some one tell me what to make? Warren
Just noticed a Durant serial number tag on ebay. One of our members might own the car this belongs to. If you have a car without the tag, this might be it. The auction item # is 4555227020
To all of you veterans both American and Canadian that served in the armed forces of both countries I would like to wish you a happy U.S. Memorial day and to say thank you for all the sacrifices you have given to make both countries free and safe. Job Well Done!
