Vehicle Description
1928 Durant, These are pretty rare, and not often seen. (Durant was
one of the founders of GM, after getting fired he started Durant
Motors that only lasted from 1921-1931) Car is a survivor with a
very neat history, was in a museum from 1954 -1989, has only 50k
documented miles. I have several documents on the car showing the
history from 1951, and have spoken to the owner of the museum where
the car resided for 35 years. Paint is all original on the body,
fenders have been painted at some point. Interior is completely
original, including seats, door panels, and headliner. Body has
absolutely no rust, and wood frame inside body is extremely nice!
No rot, or pieces that need replacing. The Durant has a more
desirable 6 cylinder engine. Motor is the original numbers matching
motor. And yes car has a title. Durant Motors was an automobile
manufacturer from 1921-1933 that had a factory in Oakland. The
company was started by William 'Billy' Durant who had previously
been the CEO of General Motors. He started Durant Motors in an
attempt to compete with GM. Billy Durant's son Cliff Durant served
as president of the company. The Oakland factory was at the
northeast corner of East 14th Street (now International Blvd.) and
Durant Avenue (also the boundary between Oakland and San Leandro).
It produced vehicles for Durant Motors from 1921-1930. The building
was subsequently used for the production of De Vaux automobiles,
and was sold to General Motors in 1936 and used to assemble Chevy
Trucks and also by the GM Truck & Coach Division. Much of the
building still exists today, occupied by various stores and the
Durant Lofts apartments. Please Note The Following **Vehicle
