Now this is an interesting car with a interesting history. Designed by “Dutch” Darrin who was already a respected designer with the Packard Darrin in the 40‘s to name. He had worked for K. F. Corp on a few previous projects but its when asked Henry Kaiser, the K in the company name, to come to his shop to see something he’d built in his own time, things changed. When Henry laid eyes on the sports cars he dismissed it “we don’t build sportscars” but as luck would have it his wife spoke up saying that it was the most wonderful car she had ever seen. With this recommendation production started a year later in 1954. Not only that but Henry had cleared it with the board to co name the car.
