Vehicle Description
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
