The Darrin roadster was designed by California-based coachbuilder Howard “Dutch” Darrin and was the first American production car to feature fiberglass bodywork. The car was repainted in factory Pine Tint green during the ownership and features sliding doors that retract into the body, turn signals, plexiglass wind wings, and separate decklids for the top and trunk. The color-matched three-position top features chrome landau bars and is shown in its three states in the gallery along with photos of the color-matched side curtains.
