I was 22 years old and was drawing $21.00 per month in salary. I had just received transfer orders from Fort Douglas, Utah to Fort Benning, Georgia. I wanted to drive to my new station so I purchased a 1928 Durant Sport Roadster for $50.00. It looked pretty rough and had three bullet holes in the back but seemed to be mechanically solid with nearly new tires. I decided to check out the engine bearings before I went on the road with it.

I made a call and the price seemed fair, so I purchased the Durant sight unseen.

(Brockville is located on the St. Lawrence River about 50 miles east of Kingston, Ontario.)

However, they were so rare that even then, there were not many around. There were quite a few Star cars around in 1938, but not many Coupsters. First of all, I better explain what a Coupster is. It’s not a coupe or a roadster but a combination of both. It has a permanent top like a coupe but doors and upholstery like a roadster, and side curtains that pull down out of the […] - [Rugby To the Rescue](https://durantmotors.shop/?page_id=7803): (This story was first published in he November 1978 edition of The Registry) On a recent trip to northern Rhodesia with friends (in the Vanguard with trailer), Peter Bartlett’s 1929 Rugby was put to a little extra test. The group traveled north about 350 miles and on the return trip, the Vanguard broke a valve causing engine damage.

Two men bought the car in San Antonio in the 1950’s and then brought it back with them to Bandera, Texas, where it was dismantled and stored in an airplane hangar.

The acceleration was not noticeably better than the two vehicles previously tested (other vehicles unknown) although seemed less fussy, probably due to the considerably larger engine capacity of 2490cc (158 cu in).

Based upon these successful conversions, I decided to have our Durant (1929 Continental 14L) converted also.
