Classic lines, still looks great, easily Kaiser's sexiest creation. Fiberglas body w/supercharged 6 made for a .0434 power-to-weight ratio -- awesome then, still strong today. -- Last edit: 2014-03-27 16:42:28

But he is said to have largely directed Franju's La tête contre les murs in which Mocky also had the leading male part. And, guess what? /vehicle_243774-Kaiser-Darrin-161-1954.html -- Last edit: 2014-03-27 19:53:45
