There were numerous 'Kit" companies in the fifties and sixties. The pics aren't real clear, but it could be a Kellison.I thought it looked kind of like a la Dawri too, but I didn't think they came as kits.

That's actually pretty cool looking! Kinda like Batman's Corvette if he had one.

The windshield on several of the La Darwis, this one included, is actually from a Chevy pickup.

Why can I remember that from a '50's magazine article and not what I had for lunch yesterday?
