So I'm doing a little research for something else and I ran across this little 1926 Durant Star (I believe to be) roadster pickup. I really like the lines on this thing!!! Can one of the Canadian HAMB'ers please translate the text... http://page.ovh.org/star/ Anyone care to do a photochop?
I'm originally from Quebec, here is the translation: It basically says that he came across this in the basement of a bakery. According to the elders this had been in storage for a while. He was then able to convince them that it would look better in his garage than in the basement. After some research, he deduced that this was never used in service by the owner Viau, but rather a promotional tool which was acquired from the Maple Leaf cookie company. He then goes into some technical specs: Durant existed between 1922 and 1928 They made big trucks under the brand Rugby Had a continental 4 banger In 1927 they came with 4 wheel brakes It probably came from the factory without the roof and box which were later added by a local coach builder. It basically had a roadster style windsheild and roof lathes made of cedar And finally it says to see the old car magazine "Magazine de L'auto Ancienne" for the march 82 edition for more info on this car. Others please feel free to add to my translation.
