For Sale at Auction: 1954 Kaiser Darrin in Scottsdale, Arizona

This is a frame-off restored 1954 Kaiser Darrin roadster that is #46 of just 435 produced. As the story goes, Howard "Dutch" Darrin had developed a 2-door sports car based on the Kaiser Henry J on his own time and funds, while working for Kaiser. Henry J. Kaiser was not interested in selling a Kaiser sports car, but his wife convinced him otherwise and, out of respect, the car was called the Kaiser Darrin. The Kaiser Darrin is a two-door soft-top roadster and features a lightweight fiberglass body with unique doors that slide forward into the body on a track. This example is finished in white with chrome wire wheel caps featuring Darrin center caps, a red soft-top and a red vinyl interior. Power comes from a 161ci inline 6-cylinder engine paired with a 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive. The sale includes restoration photos, various literature and manuals.
