Editing Durant Motors (section)

==Corporate relationships==
Durant Motors attempted to be a full-line automobile producer of cars and fielded the [[Flint (automobile)|Flint]], [[Durant (automobile)|Durant]], and [[Star (automobile)|Star]] brands, which were designed to meet [[Buick]], [[Oldsmobile]], [[Oakland Motor Car Company|Oakland]], and [[Chevrolet]] price points. Billy Durant also acquired luxury-car maker [[Locomobile Company of America|Locomobile]] of [[Bridgeport, Connecticut]],<ref>{{cite web |last1=Evans|first1=Steve|title=Impeccably refined Locomobile |url=https://journal.classiccars.com/2018/06/21/impeccably-refined-locomobile/ |website=The ClassicCars.com Journal |access-date=7 November 2018}}</ref> at its liquidation sale in 1922;<ref name="Naldrett">{{cite book |last=Naldrett |first=Alan |title=Lost Car Companies of Detroit p. 26 |publisher=[[Arcadia Publishing]] |year=2016 |isbn=978-1-6258-5649-4}}</ref> in theory, Locomobile gave him a product that would compete against [[Cadillac]], [[Rolls-Royce Limited|Rolls-Royce]], and [[Pierce-Arrow Motor Car Company|Pierce-Arrow]]. Durant Motors had a relationship with the [[Dort Motor Car Company|Dort]], [[Dominion Motors Frontenac|Frontenac]], and [[De Vaux|DeVaux]] automobile name badges. The Rugby line was the export name for Durant's Star car line. However, from 1928 to 1931, Durant marketed trucks in the US and Canadian markets under the badge Rugby Trucks. The Princeton, a model aimed at the [[Packard]] and [[Cadillac]] price points, was planned but never realized; also planned was the Eagle car line, but it never made it off the drafting tables.
