Hello everyone. I'm new here, and new to the Durant Club. I just took ownership of a 1930 614 Standard Sedan this last Sunday. It needs a lot of help. I'm doing well as far as body parts go. But, I have one problem. I have no frame. Does anyone know where I can find a frame?

Thanks,
Mike

I have one but you'd have to come and get it in SE Iowa.

Thanks for the quick response. I'm in Northern Nevada, I'm not sure I can make it out that way any time soon. But, who knows.

Thanks,
Mike

I have a frame from a coupe. Dont know if it would be the same or not but its yours for the taking if you need it and it would fit. Have a few other parts as well- maybe you need wheels? or a rear axle let me know what you need -I may be able to help

Ken,

Is your frame from a 1939 614 or 407 coupe? If so, it should have the 112" wheelbase that I need. Where are you located? What model(s) do you own / drive?

Thanks,
Mike

Mike,
I don't know if you've found a frame yet, but I have one for a 1930 614 sedan. The front part needs a little tweaking but overall it's in good shape. Email me if you are interested.

Mike,
I have a rolling chassis of a 1924 Star Touring that is in excellent condition, if you can use that. it measures 102" wheel center to wheel center. I'm located in Auburn, Calif.......100 miles from you!

Thanks Andrew. I think I need 112". Thats what the spec sheet says for a 1930 614. Thanks again.

BTW all 1930 and 1931 614 Durant car frames are exactly the same no matter coupe, 2 door, or 4 door with a 112" wheel base.
Now the 619 model is completely different with the double dropped frame and shorter wheel base of 109".

Now there you go again Lance, forgetting us Canadians with continued Durant's 31 / 32. No wonder we feel orphaned with orphan cars. 614 / 611 have same frames. But again the 611 was Leaside only. Seems to me I heard someone between Kingston and Toronto has a 611 sedan. 1935 you could have bought a 614 / 611 frame for half price at $22.50. Fronty at $66.50 down from $95.00. Guess the dropped frames were more expensive to make.
