1954 Kaiser Darrin | April 10, 2008
The Kaiser Darrin was created in 1954 to compete with the new Chevrolet Corvette in the growing American sports car segment. The car was designed by famed American designer Howard “Dutch” Darrin. Darrin had previously been a partner in Hibbard & Darrin of Paris and also designed for Packard and Studebaker. In the late 1930s Darrin had left Paris and set up a shop in Hollywood.

The Kaiser Darrin had a fiberglass body, a three-position top and sliding pocket doors that disappeared into the front fenders when opened. The car is powered by a 90-horsepower 161-cubic inch six-cylinder engine.

The car was only manufactured in 1954. Only 435 copies were constructed.
