1951 Kaiser 'Darrin' for sale

Of course it's not a Darrin but sometimes that 'Darrin Styled' emblem does confuse the casual observer.  It's an early '51 Deluxe with the early radio, hydramatic and no clock.  Doesn't look like original California rust on it either.  Might make a good car but too much work for me.

I know it’s been covered but did Dutch get anything for that tag? A penny a tag?😁
No old cars owned.

Yes, Dutch did get a royalty for every car sold with the tag. A friend and I visited the Bancroft Library at UC Berkley a few years ago to wade thru the KF archives and came across the original signed document between Dutch and Henry for the rights and royalties for the 1947 models. I don't recall the amount per car at the moment, but I'm sure Dutch did OK.
