1930 Durant Model 614 Coupe
Owned by Myron Butler, Phillipsburg, New Jersey.
As it was purchased, in pieces, in 1995: a puzzle that took three and a half years to put together. Then the finished product. “Now five years later it’s still the rare one at the shows. It has received loads of attention and trophies and given my wife and I a lot of pleasure.” (Myron Butler)

1931 Durant Model 614 Coupe
Owned by David Blair, Corona, California.
“This is my car as it looked on 4/4/03 and as it looked in 1960 when I pretended to drive it sitting in our farm shop. As of this date I have taken the body off the frame, the engine to Kenyon, and get more nervous every day with this new adventure.” (David Blair)

1923 Star
Owned by Jeff and John Lewis, Renton, Washington.
“The black and white photographs were taken in 1955 prior to our Star’s original restoration. The color picture is the car right after we got it home from California. We took the radiator off as it was shot and have had it repaired. It is waiting in the wings to go back on along with the engine cover. We have the original wooden ribs for the top but they are rotting away. We will be using these as templates to construct new ones. The other shot isn’t our car. It is a scanned postcard of a 1923 Star in the Harrah’s collection.” (Jeff Lewis)

1929 Durant D63 Sedan
Owned by Sid Semple, Australia.
Australian-made “Ruskin” body, being restored. The chassis and running gear are the same as the D65. The dash is the same as the M2, M4 and D40, and the bonnet is D60. The same body is on the Rugby D40 sedan here; the M2, M4, D60 and D65 sedans appear to share the same bodies. Most of the Australian cars came from Leaside, Canada. (Sid Semple)
