The Bobby Darin Coupe

Bobby Darin and wife Sandra Dee rolled up to the 1961 Academy Awards in this 1960 DiDia Bobby Darin Coupe.

 

Andrew DiDia dreamed of this creation in 1953 and took 7 years and nearly $100,000 to complete.

Chrysler stylist E.V. Francoise was commissioned to render the car.

 

The paint work done by George Barris consisted of 30 coats of Swedish Pearl Essence, supplemented by crushed diamonds !

 

Darin paid an incredible $150,000 for the DiDia which caused a sensation wherever it was seen :-)))
