Hi Rick, Closest I've ever heard of was the Dodge Dort.LOL Cool pic and history. en.wikipedia.org I spent 5 years attending GMI in 1971 -1976. In eastern Flint there is a big road named Dort Highway - at the time it was the location of a very large AC DELCO plant that made oil filters,gas filters and air filters. I had a friend who worked there. One day we had to give a speech in a communication class - he chose to speak about why AC Delco filters are the best filters made in the world. He really knew his stuff and I have gone through great lengths to buy only AC Delco filters ever since. My buddy in Hemphill Tx grandfather was a STAR dealer. Star was the first car that Durant built - shipped them by train for final assembly at the dealership. en.wikipedia.org Durant was the Steve Jobs of early autos. Quite a colorful man. While attending GMI (home of the Dort) we had a professor who was famous for his speech on Durant and Louis Chevrolet and how they took back control of GM after the Wall Street bankers took it from Durant. Durant bought Sloan valve just to get Sloan to manage GM and its many (TOO MANY) individual car companies. Sloan came up with the new and brilliant idea of reinvesting retained earnings into the companies that generated the greatest profits. Bob
