A superb and rare photo of the Durant Motors
Company.
The
Star was an automobile marque that was assembled by the Durant Motors
Company between 1922 and 1928. Also known as the Star Car, Star was
envisioned as a competitor against the Ford Model T. (In the United Kingdom, it
was sold as the Rugby, to avoid confusion with the British marque.)
Like other products of the
Durant Motors Company, the Star was an "assembled" car, built
from parts supplied by various outside companies. Originally, Stars were
powered by a four-cylinder engine; in 1926 the line introduced a six-cylinder
engine. All factory-installed engines were built by Continental.
In 1923, Star became the
first car company to offer a production station wagon (instead of shipping the
chassis out to a custom builder who added the wooden wagon body).
For the early part of the
1928 model year, the Star was known as the Durant Star and was only
available with a four-cylinder engine. The car was replaced in the later half
of the 1928 model year by the Durant 4.
This is a very nice and very rare non period photo
that reflects a wonderful era of history in a wonderful way. This is your rare chance to own this
photo, therefore it is printed in a nice large format of ca. 8" x
10" (ca. 20 x 26 cm). It makes it
perfectly suitable for framing.
