If you like the older cars from the 20's to 30's then "Bonnie & Clyde" is excellent.  Also the Canadian TV series "Wind at My Back"

[Anyone know the origin of these radiator emblems?]

I have seen these used on Motometers.

Vintique used to offer some of the brand specific motometers with these miniature badges.

Hi Ray,

The W5 was the Continental motor designation used by Durant.

My touring car is listed as a 1926, but has a lot of the earlier 1925 features. We in the Durant Motors Automobile Club, joke that Durant's moto was "no two cars alike".  They even varied from plant to plant. This touring was made in Canada, I have another one that was made in California and is very similar but it has four wheel brakes and is a 1925.

 

You are correct about Rugby being used in the British markets because the Star name already existed there.

You can see a lot more info on our Club website

From the pictures I would say a mid 20's Star Model M, made by Durant motors.

The clues:

• W5 continental motor
• separate mounted transmission
• 4 cylinder so a Model M
• Rear brakes only, so was made in Michigan, New Jersey Or Leaside Canada. 
• Ribbed fenders and splash aprons like my Model M Star
• Unique Spicer coupling between clutch and transmission.

'29 is one of 296 built.

Nice to see another one!  Got one in my barn.  Seems like a lot of those 296 built survived

[What’s this “snowmobile”?]

It's a Durant. Distinctive radiator shell. 1928 or 1929.
