MarrsCars Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) I've been looking through a few more of the old original photos my partner brought home last week and was intrigued by these cars below. After basic research it appears they are Star models built by Durant, can you confirm this? Also, can they be pegged to a specific year or were they basically the same design for the short duration they were produced? The photos appear to depict a parade or celebration of some sort in McPherson, Kansas. Also, what is the multi-horn device fitted to the side of the vehicle in close-up?

keiser31 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Yes, Star made by Durant. 1924 or 1925 maybe. Edited January 11, 2016 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcd30 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Definitely Star.....26-7 emblem on door of truck and in window of car. Very interesting. Maybe the horns had something to do with "Whistling Snyders". Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcd30 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 You're right.......but the photo was taken in 25-6. In 25 the emblem was a shaded star. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe in Canada Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I like the horn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MrPaige Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I think the first two photos are of 1926-27 Stars. The other member was correct about the 1925 and earlierStars having a plain shaded star as the emblem . 1926-27 had the more detailed emblem. The first car I owned andrestored at the age of 15 was a 1926 Star 4 cyl. 4 door sedan. Good car, not bad looking. Still have a bunch of hubcapsin the basement.
