Re: Presentation and doubts

Yep all over the place and tried to.

Take a look at Frontenac ones.
1931 E 618 E 1001 - E 1301 Aug 1931 - Jan 31 1932
1932 E 670 is not G 1001 but continuation of the E series as G 1302 - to end Feb 1 1932 to (Feb 1933 ? )

1932 685 K 1001 - K 1271 May 1932 - Jan 31 1933
1933 685 K 1272 to end Feb 1933 to model end

Fronty Ace is not 81 - 1001 and up but 91 - 1001 and up. Conny Ace is 81 - 1001.

De Vaux is tricky
1931 675 at Oakland is C- 1001 - C 4745 April 15 1931 to Sept 25 1931 when stopped for good.
1931 675 at Grand Rapids is M 1001 - M 4745 April 6 1931 to Dec 31 1931
1932 675 M 4746 - M 5609 Jan 1 1932 to Mar 31 1932

1932 680 M 5610 - M 6468 April 1 1932 - Sept 31 1932
1932 680 M - 6469 - M 7038 Oct 1 1932 - Jan 31 1933 ( Oct 1 Continental drops De Vaux name and becomes Continental Automobile Co)

Both places on Rugby truck in Tech is incorrect saying Rugby truck production starts Sept 1928. Then explain the L, T, X Rugby trucks and manuals April 1 1928. That information, only applies to the M2 Durant truck. April 1 1928 M2 Star became M2 Durant. Sept 4 1928 M2 car became M4 Durant and M2 truck became S4 Rugby. Rugby line established at stop of Star March 31 1928.

Take a look at the Durant one. You see start to Lansing / Leaside for 1922. Any start to the 40 at any plant from 1001 ?
B22 is interesting at M 309 instead of M 101 etc. We have a B22 with vin M 223 which is before that M 309.

Just a small example ..

Where Are You From? Ottawa Ont

Do You own a car built by Durant? Dominion built 1932 614 Sedan
