Meet Darrin

[NutmegCT]

Some interesting Chrysler Corp. history, from 1924 onward:

The best (?) of Chrysler.

And one of their "inherited" models - the 1954 Kaiser Darrin.

IMHO, the ONLY thing that made them interesting is the disappearing doors. They make my SP.250's look stylish.

I'd still like to see one some day... In my pursuit of unusual cars of all kinds... But rather unlikely at the rate I'm going at... LOL

Don't see em around these parts either. Did see one at the car show at Iola WI. couple of years back.

And by the way Sherlock it is -2 F here, could you keep this weather up in you parts instead of sending it south?

If you go to a national antique car show comparable to the one in Hershey, PA, you will most likely see one. A customer of mine has done the interiors of several Darrins. His total adds up to 2 or 3% of the cars ever produced. Considering the number built, it doesn't take much to get there.

There is a Kaiser Darrin at Macungie PA's Das Awkscht Fescht nearly every year. Here are a few photos I took in 2007
