Vehicle Description
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.
