The Bricklin-- part American, part Canadian. What a joke. 175 hp Windsor, 3,500 pounds, 12-14 mpg. 0-60 times must have been measured in "days". Almost $10,000 in '74. You could have purchased two 240Z cars for that.

Based on those stats, I'm sure Las Vegas was taking odds on how quick this company would go Chapter 7. Took about three years. The good news? If you like them, they can be had pretty cheap, and given that the parts can be sourced through GM, Ford, & AMC, repairing one is not much of a problem.

They do, however, have a song. Doesn't possess the the pizzazz of "Hey, Little Cobra"........but...............
