Kaiser Darrin?
Indeed that is what it is said to be based on.
No more is known about it but if anyone out there knows anything they're welcome to post it!
So it's solved by FrontMan and back luck delorean, you been pipped!
Very unusual for a customizer or coachbuilder to replace a modern, curved one-piece windshield with a retrograde dual-pane example. The prototype K-D had a two-pane windshield. Production cars did not.
Also, is this car covered in rust? Darrin's were fiberglass-bodied.
I suspect it may be based upon a run-of-the mill Kaiser, perhaps a Manhattan. The hood looks to be more-or-less like a '53 Manhattan's

Yes, looking at my files it didn't actually say it was a Darrin, just a Kaiser "of some sort", but I can't find the source any more. Sorry.
I'll change it in the heading.
I do have another picture though:
Fair enough, gentlemen....I am happy to conceed the point!
I don't think you will lose the point. I was just flappin' my jaw. :)
I can't say absolutely what it is or isn't.

No-one seems to be able to! It's lost in the mists of time.
Kaiser alone was enough for the point!
