Introduction

Welcome to this work in progress. This site documents the cars and trucks produced by the Durant Motor Company and its affiliated companies from 1921 to 1934. I hope that this information will be useful to you in your restoration or research work.

Throughout the site I have tried to be as accurate as possible. However much of the material is based on sales literature of the time that may or may not have been accurate, so the potential for error does exist. If you are using any of the information for the restoration of a vehicle, especially the specifications in the catalog, please independently verify them before doing anything irreversible to your vehicle.
