thanks again.

I thought I would throw in my 2 cents on this subject as some might not know the link between the DeVaux and the Continental.
The DeVaux was built in Oakland, California and Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1931. By Fall, the Oakland factory was closed. Sad to say, in only 9 months the DeVaux went broke. Norman DeVaux lost his 17 Million investment. Very few 1932 DeVauxs were built. (All in Michigan). In February of 1932, the Continental engine company bought the Michigan assets of the DeVaux. The corporation name was changed from DeVaux Hall Motors to Continental DeVaux. When 1932 DeVaux production ended, they built the Continental automobile.
In 1933, the Continental built 3 models, the 4 cylinder Beacon and the 6 cylinder Flyer and Ace. The ace had a longer wheel base (114) than the Flyer at 107. In 1934, only the 4 cylinder Beacon was built. After that, Continental stopped production.
The 1932 DeVaux had a re-designed body from the 1931. I believe the 33 Continental body was close if not the same as the 32 DeVaux.
There is an interesting sidenote to the connection between Norman DeVaux and the Continental car. In late 1936, Norman DeVaux tried it again and built a prototype car using the design of the Continental Beacon. It was planned for export only. It was called a DeVo.
A few years back, at a swap meet I found and article from a car magazine of the late 80's about the DeVo. It is in South Africa and was restored there.

Norman DeVaux tried it one last time in 1938 when he bought the Cord body dyes. The result was the Hupp Skylark and the Hollywood Graham but that is another story.

Do You own a car built by Durant? No, I collect Continental Motor Companey cars Beacon,Ace,Flyer,Frontenac

Hi Daryl ... been a few months since you used the forum on Continental's and we talked over email. No I'm still not interested in 33 and 34's. Too new. You might talk to Steve and Robert about new info on our Frontenac's and production going beyond 1933. Steve scanned the Toronto Star for D an F info and turned up the 34 info. Seems some of the 34's had Pullman feature. Peter still has the 600 body remains at his place near Westport Ont.
