Billy Durant's intent was to build an automotive empire that could one day challenge General Motors.
From 1921 to 1926 the vehicle was powered by a four cylinder or 6 cyl overhead valve Continental engine.
When the Durant was reintroduced April 1928, the car was redesigned and powered by a six cylinder Continental engine; some of the early vehicles were marketed as the "Durant-Star".
Durant Motors was found insolvent and automobile production ended early in 1932.
