1928 Star Special Touring in Forest City, North Carolina

549-1928 Star Depot Hack-Designed by William C. Durant and built to pick up passengers at the railroad stations, this is one of the more unusual and definitely one of the most rare cars in the Bennett Classics Museum. Star was introduced in 1922 to compete with the lower-priced Ford's and Chevy's however did not survive The Great Depression which started in 1929. This vehicle was supposedly built in the Detroit factory in '28 and is said to be one of only 3 known to be in existence according to the Durant Registry of their company vehicles. It is powered by a Continental 6-cylinder engine with a 3-speed manual transmission. It is fully restored and we are told that is was fully functional when parked in the museum, but is not running at this time. VIN-L36849
