Rick0matic Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Hiya Chris! Interesting grille. Maybe from one of the Cadillac-Darrins that Dutch was supposed to have built from the 50 leftover Darrins he bought from the factory. None have ever surfaced according to many members of the KFOC. I assume it was in your Dad's collection - know where he got it? Post the pic on the KFOC Darrin forum at kfclub.com and see what Terry and Jack have to say. Interesting piece - may lend credence to the idea that Dutch built at least one Caddy-Darrin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
