It is reported that 1,582 Alpines were produced from 1953 through 1955.

Body-color 16″ steel wheels wear chrome hubcaps and beauty rings and are wrapped in Avon tires. Stopping power is provided by red-finished drum brakes. The brake fluid was flushed in August 2022.
The interior features seating reupholstered in red vinyl along with a lockable glovebox, a dash-mounted rear-view mirror, and a passenger grab handle.
An ivory-colored banjo-style steering wheel frames an intermittently-operational 120-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level, water temperature, amperage, and oil pressure. A tachometer is mounted under the dash. The five-digit odometer shows 62k miles, and total mileage is unknown.
The 2,267cc inline-four features an aluminum valve cover and a single downdraft carburetor that is said to have been rebuilt in June 2022. Service completed in August 2022 included rebuilding the master cylinder, adjusting the carburetor and timing, flushing the coolant, repairing the exhaust system, and changing the oil.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.
