Select a(n) "1954 Kaiser Darrin - America's Sporty Cars" gift below to order

The two-seater featured retractable doors that slid forward into the front fenders; a clever pointed, compact grille; long sloping lines; and a three- position Landau top. Nine months after it went into production, the last of 435 Kaiser Darrins rolled off the assembly line. It could not compete with the Corvette which boasted more horsepower and sold for slightly less. Dutch Darrin himself bought 100 of the left-over cars and refitted them with powerful Cadillac V-8 engines. They sold quickly, but the Kaiser era had passed. This stamp was issued by the Postal Service on August 20, 2005 as part of the America's Sporty Cars series .
