About Durant Motors

Durant Motors was established in 1921 by William C. Durant, the founder of General Motors. After being forced out of GM, Durant set out to create a new automotive empire that would compete with the biggest names in the industry.

The Durant brand was positioned as a medium-priced car, offering luxury and reliability at an affordable price. The cars were known for their quality construction, innovative features, and elegant styling that rivaled much more expensive automobiles.

The 1929 Durant Deluxe, like ours, represented the pinnacle of the company's craftsmanship. With its wood-spoke wheels, plush interiors, and distinctive styling, it embodied the spirit of American automotive excellence during the Roaring Twenties.

Although Durant Motors ceased production during the Great Depression, the surviving vehicles have become treasured collector's items, cherished by enthusiasts and vintage car lovers around the world.
