Beautiful Cars & Trucks

The wonderful thing about a Bricklin is that the gull wing doors not only weighed a ton, but that they worked about six times before you couldn't open them without a jaws of life.

You just hoped that you were outside the car when you closed that door for the last time.

Oh, and many of them were orange.

Bricklin called it Safety Orange.

And -- they were Canadian.

:biggrin:

It was the first car I ever wanted. I was still living in MA, so that was ‘70 or ‘71. I never knew about the doors, but I was 4 or 5, I didn’t know anything, just that they were cool and not like any car I had seen.

It was an attractive automobile as far as styling goes and engineering it for safety was laudable, but they just couldn't make it succeed.

Like many endeavors, DeLorean comes to mind, they tried to sell it before they could effectively build it.
