Editing Durant Motors (section)

==Subsequent history==
The [[Lansing, Michigan]], Durant plant on Verlinden Avenue opened in 1920. After the demise of Durant, it remained closed until GM purchased it in 1935. It restarted production for GM's [[Fisher Body]] Division, later becoming the Buick-Oldsmobile-Cadillac factory. It was finally combined with another Lansing plant to become [[Lansing Car Assembly]]. That factory was closed on May 6, 2005.

Durant's [[Flint, Michigan]], factory was bought by the Fisher Body Division of General Motors, and built mostly Buick bodies until its 1987 closure.<ref name= "flint"></ref><ref name= "fisher">{{cite news |url= https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1987-06-09-fi-5933-story.html |title=GM's Famed, Old Fisher Body Plant Is Slowly Fading Into Auto History |work=[[Los Angeles Times]] |date=June 9, 1987 |access-date=April 29, 2018}}</ref>

Durant's [[Oakland, California]], plant, located at the northeast corner of East 14th Street (now International Blvd.) and Durant Avenue (also the boundary between Oakland and San Leandro), later became a General Motors parts warehouse. Part of the plant survives as loft apartments and the Durant Square shopping center.<ref>{{cite web |title=Durant Motors - Oakland |url=https://localwiki.org/oakland/Durant_Motors |access-date=21 October 2021}}</ref>

The company's Canadian [[Leaside, Ontario]], plant later became a factory for the Canadian Wire and Cable Company, though it was later demolished and is now a neighborhood shopping center.

Durant's former plant in [[Elizabeth, New Jersey]], housed one of the first supermarkets in the 1930s, and then was used as a cookie bakery by [[Burry's|Burry Biscuits]] for many years. It was in use as a warehouse when it was destroyed by fire in December 2011.<ref name= "fire">{{cite news |last=Nutt |first=Amy Ellis |url= http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2011/12/elizabeth_fire_claims_a_storie.html |title=Elizabeth fire claims a storied building |work=[[NJ.com]] |date=December 25, 2011 |access-date=April 29, 2018}}</ref>
