This has to been the best year in Durant history for touring.

The Pacific Coast chapter is hosting our second Spring tour, this year Livermore will be our base. It is open to ALL DMAC members even if you do not have a running Durant made motorcar. Come and meet the folks and spend one, two or three days touring part of California.

Just a reminder that the Pacific Coast meet is coming up real fast, only 10 days away. If you plan to attend please contact Dick Ward at richard.ward6@comcast.net

Since we will be touring for three days and staying at the same hotel, you can pick all or just a few days to join us.

Re: Second Annaul PCC Spring Tour

Tour Day One.
We drove five cars, two Durants and three Stars to the old Durant/Star dealership in Livermore, California. The last time the Durant club was here was back in 2002. Only one car from that trip was present from that trip, the other four cars were not running yet.

This was also the first tour of amy kind for twp cars, a 1925 Star and 1929 Durant Coupe.
