motoringicons Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) Deposit received. Sale pending. 11.1.2011This rare 1927 Star (made by Durant) Model K Landau sedan was just removed from long term storage and is in very nice original condition. It was formerly part of the Mayor Coleman Young estate and was used as one of his parade cars during his (in)famous reign over Detroit. The dark blue paint appears original and well preserved. The gray upholstery appears largely original and also well preserved. The top material, etc appears in good original condition. The body is very straight and solid with good door fit, good alignment, straight fenders, good inner body wood, etc. The six cylinder engine runs and the car drives, but it will need to be fully serviced as it has not been used in years. An unusual and rare car that could be serviced and used as it is. I think it is too nice to restore. A neat, old nickel-era car with a fun history. 9,500.00. Located near Ann Arbor, MI.

flintauto Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 btt I'm surprised you still have the car. Priced right with a little history, the six (model R) is a strong running and rarer auto. Bob DMAC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durant Mike Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Got to agree with Bob, this is a great car for someone who wants to get into the older, 1920's cars. Don't shy away from this one because you have never heard of a Star or think you can't get parts. This car has the Continental engine in it and many parts can be still obtained for it. Besides there is a strong club network with the Durant Motors Automobile Club located at The Durant Motors Automobile Club - International with a good number of members that own and work on these great cars. They have a good parts network among members also for some individuals who manufacture new parts. If I had the money and space I'd buy this one and just do some minor things and enjoy it as is. Like the Durant Motors Company motto said "Just a real good car"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motoringicons Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 Thanks for the nice comments. It is really a very solid and honest car with a great "patina" as they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
