1923 Durant on YouTube

Came across a 10 year old YouTube video on Phil Pezzella's 1923 Durant restoration.Vehicle is partially restored and he is describing the car. Probably a pioneer video on YouTube.

Ross:
I took a look at that video. I believe that the car is a Star, made by Durant, but not a car labelled as a 1923 Durant. You will notice the engine, is what clued me in. The 23 Durant is Overhead Valve engine. This looks like a W4 engine to me.
Sure was nice to look at. Also, Durant wheels have 5 clips whereas the Star only has 4. Hope this helps anyone who is interested.

For those who are scratching their heads as to where this car is, with Gord saying its mislabeled

Yes a Star C possibly with W4A if a 1923, without the vin info, and it has Star hubcaps. Owners name not mentioned. He calls it a coach and says they built a surrey. ??? He really has no idea what he's working on. Strap shocks off some later 28 / 29 ? not seeing any C or F in pics with shocks.

Would be interesting to see completed touring and have the info on it.
