Research Dossier · 1930 Durant 6-17 Coupe
The 1930 Durant Model 6-17 sat at the upper end of Durant’s lineup, powered by a Continental 15U inline six of roughly 248 cu in, producing about 70 hp. Period literature and enthusiast research note that this was the largest engine ever installed in a Durant passenger car, paired with a multi-speed manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive. The car rode on approximately a 115 inch wheelbase, with wire wheels, dual side-mount spares and a compact two-passenger coupe body with an external trunk.
LEGO Model Priorities
• Capture the long-hood / short-deck proportions, tall greenhouse and upright windshield.
• Preserve the stepped beltline, separate fenders, running boards and spare-tire mounts on both sides.
• Interior focus: twin seats, wood-look dashboard, three-spoke wheel, floor shifter and handbrake, with visible pedals in larger scales.
• Engine bay: simplified inline-six block with exhaust manifold on one side and intake on the other, using only currently produced LEGO elements.
Real-Build Constraints
All plans produced by this generator assume: real, currently available LEGO elements; legal building techniques; a minimum 8-stud footprint for vehicles; and a Technic-style internal spine on larger scales to keep the long hood and fragile fenders stable during handling.
Disclaimer: Some rendered images may show colors or finishes (chrome, metallic, etc.) that are not currently produced by LEGO. Substitution notes are included in the output for real-world building. Each plans package also includes a text-only Bill of Materials with LEGO Design/Element IDs and estimated quantities, plus a Real-Part Substitution Table and BrickLink shopping guidance.
