Durant Hubcap, 1921-1932
01
Artifact Overview
After his second and final forced departure from General Motors, William C. Durant formed Durant Motors in 1921. Closely modeled on GM, Durant's new firm offered a range of brands from the basic Star to the luxury Locomobile. Initial sales were encouraging, but Durant overextended his finances -- just as he had done at GM. Durant Motors was liquidated in 1933.
