It’s a Kaiser-Darrin, I think.

I was going to guess Kaiser something...

That front end was not thought out very well.

That’s a Kaiser-Darrin. Saw one at a car show, really neat. The doors slide into the front fenders!

Yup, they even showed that in the episode! Such a cool feature.

I think you’re confusing deranged stupid with ordinary stupid. Plenty of thought went into it... from crazy people.

I will have to look into this show. Because any director who cast one of these cars for their characters has something special going on!

When I saw that in the show I though it couldn’t have been a real car lol.

I know what you mean. Sometimes it’s hard to tell which items in the show are historical and which were just concepts at the time.

I assume it’s here but look at the doors.

10-70 in 15 seconds... now we complain because Kia has the audacity to make a sports car with a 0-60 of more than 5 seconds

As an observation, by the end of the decade Lincoln was offering the ability to go 0-60 in something like 8 in a car weighing three tons loaded. The trick would be getting it to stop.

Holy crap. They kept showing the Darrin, and I told the guys I was watching it with that the doors slide into the fenders.

And they kept NOT SHOWING THE DOORS OPEN.

And then they finally did, and it was a massive relief.

That was reasonably quick for the time, especially for a Kaiser, since they never had one of them newfangled V8s.
