The Star automobile is one of those fleeting brands that existed for only a short time. It was built by Durant Motors. William Crapo Durant was the president of Buick from 1904 to 1908. He is credited with being the founder of General Motors. In 1910, he was forced out of the company. Durant founded various motor companies, including the Mason Motor Co., Little Motor Co. and Chevrolet Motor Co. of Michigan. Durant saw the Star as an inexpensive partner to the Durant automobile. Many of the early models had a 40-horsepower Continental six-cylinder engine.

In 1920, he started Durant Motors, and Durant built the Star from 1922 until 1928. It was available in coupe, roadster and landau models. Prices ranged from $750 to $975.
