This 1954 Kaiser Darrin Convertible is one of just two or three known special order Darrins and is believed to have been delivered to a VIP client or Kaiser family member. It wears special order paint code 999 and special order trim code 888. Both of these did not correspond with the standard interior and exterior colors available at the time.
The body number is 71 and it currently wears the correct Teal Blue paint scheme complimented by wide whitewall tires and a white interior. It was given a restoration many years ago.
