Re: Durant Dealerships

Just before our event there, I had the chance to meet with Rocky and his daughter at his home one evening. We had a nice interview and he shared memories of his time at the factory. Sadly he is gone now too. Great memory.

I haven't seen that picture in a long time, but I believe it was taken in San Francisco on Van Ness street AKA Auto Row.

Re: Durant Dealerships

"Dubuque, Iowa. The Lange & Tscharner Motor Car Co., sales and service for Durant, Auburn and Cord motor cars, has moved into a new home at 850 Iowa St."

This from a June 7, 1930 news article.

Google street view shows a parking garage on one side of the street and a newer office building on the other side of the street in the 800 block of Iowa Street now.

Anyone have an old picture of the building that was there in the 1930's? Maybe the local historical museum?

Re: Durant Dealerships

Just found a new one while talking in Facebook in the Old Ottawa And Bytown Pic's site
Horner Motors on 430 Gladstone Ave in Ottawa. Present owner has the sign with Star crest in upper left, Road King crest lower left. Durant crest upper right. Can't get him to show the full sign.

He says .. The floor is reinforced concrete and there was a ramp that allowed the cars in the building...Technically one could open a car dealership there today.
