ClassicCars TV was lucky to see this 1954 Kaiser Darrin in all its fiberglass glory. Not only are Kaiser Darrins rare, but they also have a distinctive design from Automotive Hall of Fame inductee Howard “Dutch” Darrin. His Kaiser Henry J-based creation has an unusual grille, a Willys inline-six, pocket doors, and a soft top that can be put into three positions.
But those features weren’t enough to get it on the production line. Ultimately, Henry J. Kaiser’s wife Alyce convinced him to start making the Darrin, aka KF-161. This restored Darrin is #46 from the 435-unit production run; it sold at the Barrett-Jackson 2024 Scottsdale Fall Auction for $97,900.
