Makes and Models Chart

These two charts show where each Durant make was meant to fit in the market, and which models each make offered in each year. For the story of the company, see A Brief History of Durant Vehicles.

Where the makes fit in

By the mid-twenties Durant had a vision of a Durant Motors with an offering in every price range. The following table shows where both actual and planned products were to fit.

Models offered by each make, 1921–1934

Years are model years: until the end of 1929, a model year ran from August 1 to July 31, so a car built in August 1929 is a 1930 model. From 1930 on, a new model year began only when a model was upgraded. The Durant 614, for example, was a 1930 model from January 4 to December 31, 1930, a 1931 model from January 1, 1931, to January 31, 1932, and a 1932 model from February 1, 1932, to the end of Durant production.

The L2, X2, S, S2, and 416 Rugby truck names appear only in Canadian parts lists. The Durant 621 and 622 may never have been produced. The Locomobile Junior Six was shown in 1925 but never produced. The year of the Durant 633 is disputed: 1932 or 1933. Locomobile is shown from 1922, when Durant bought the company. The Star R became the Durant 55 on January 1, 1928. The Star M ended on December 31, 1927, and was followed by the Star M2, which became the Durant M2 on April 1, 1928.

One Continental DeVo was built in 1937, and it isn’t shown. Princeton, Eagle, and Mathis have their own catalogs and aren’t in this table.
