The building sat empty for decades & was a used exotic & race car dealer last time I was past there. The car was almost '48 Studebaker fugly & faded blue-gray. The W/S wipers were vacuum operated. It really sucked if it was pouring & you were trying go up a hill.

He told me that Kaiser was the first car manufacterer to install AC as an option (true or not?). Darien (I think) was their sports car, predecessor in styling to the 'vette. He said that when Kaiser closed up shop in the US the equipment was shipped to South America where they continued being built for quite a few years.Robert17noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-86705316867746543222023-01-30T13:06:35.061-08:002023-01-30T13:06:35.061-08:00That's what I've been missing; a supersoni...That's what I've been missing; a supersonic engine.
