Been around for a couple of years and I think it is an awesome design. Get rid of door dings completely.

Steve,
That is a car that I did not know existed. Thanks for the post.

Research time.

I like it. And I would bet it is worth a lot of money now.

Joe,
The Kaiser Darrin is GRP (fibreglass) just like the Corvette. I've seen a couple of them in person and they are pretty neat.

Ron,
They only made a few hundred between '53 and '54 IIRC, but I have no idea what they are worth these days.

This was on display in one of our autditoriums. It was need then.

Nice to see they used the Fox in downtown for their video.

Seems to me I saw a K-D that same color on one of the auto auctions. Don't know if it was Barret, Jackson or some other. Saw the car when I was a kid.
Kaiser had a whole family of brands. Kaiser-Darin, Kaiser-Frazier, Kaiser, Henry J, maybe more.
