British Star Car

In the 1920s, there were two Star Motor companies, one in the US, a subsidiary of Durant Motors, and another in the UK (where the American Star Car was marketed under the Rugby badge).

If this is an American model, the square-topped grill dates it to after 1923. Determining the year for the British Star is more difficult, however, because the British Star Motor Company did not embrace the kind of standardization typical of US marks like Durant or Ford. Yet despite this, the two companies’ touring cars were still quite similar.
