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

Vehicle Description

This 1954 Kaiser Darrin roadster is No. 46 of 435 produced for the model year and underwent a frame-off restoration. It is powered by a 161ci inline-6 engine paired with a 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive. This two-door car features a lightweight fiberglass body with doors that slide forward into the body on a track. This example is finished in white with a red soft-top over a red vinyl interior and is riding on chrome wire wheel caps featuring Darrin center caps. As the story goes, Howard "Dutch" Darrin had developed a two-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. This example was recently serviced and detailed and the sale includes restoration photos, various literature and manuals. From The Bryan Frank Collection. ** PREVIEW
