Description: Kaiser Motors was an American auto manufacturer created in August of 1945. It was a joint venture between the Henry J. Kaiser Company and Graham-Paige Motors Corporation The 1954 Kaiser Darrin Roadster was designed by Howard 'Dutch' Darrin. When Darrin designed this fiberglass roadster, Kaiser wasn't all that interested. Henry's wife, however, thought it was one of the most beautiful designs she had ever seen. The weight of his wife's impression led Kaiser to decide in favor of Darrin's roadster and production began. Powered by a 90-horsepower 161-cubic inch six cylinder engine, the Kaiser-Darrin was created to compete with Chevrolet's Corvette. Only 435 examples of the Kaiser Darrin were ever created.
