  • The Bricklin SV-1 was a gull-wing door sports car assembled in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. The body panels were manufactured in a separate plant in Minto, New Brunswick. Manufactured from 1974 until early 1976 for the U.S. market, the car was the creation of Malcolm Bricklin, a Jewish American millionaire who had previously founded Subaru of America. Due to Bricklin's lack of experience in the auto industry, coupled with the fact that the cars were not properly designed or engineered, the Bricklin factory was not able to produce vehicles fast enough to make a profit. As a result, only 2,854 cars were built before the company went into receivership, owing the New Brunswick government $23 million. In an attempt to reduce production costs, Bricklin attempted to bond fiberglass to acrylic plastic--something the plastics industry had not perfected at the time--resulting in a high failure rate and high production costs (more often than not, the panels cracked while still in their molds). The acrylic fiberglass body was ahead of its time. The result was a sports car of indifferent quality and disappointing performance that some dealers refused to sell. It soon became obvious that Bricklins claims of a "high performance safety car" were nonsense. Another problem they had with the car was it constantly overheated over a period of driving so in the 1974 they had a single scoop they thought that scoop wasn't allowing enough air in so in 1975 they added a double scoop to help solve the problem even to this day that overheating problem still wasn't solved so most owners switched to a larger radiator. Also contributing to the company's decline was Bricklin's tendency to assign inexperienced family members to executive positions on his Board. It is believed that fewer than 920 Bricklin cars still exist. The model name (SV-1), stood for "safety vehicle one". The original idea for the Bricklin SV-1 was a safe and economical sports car; however, due to the extra safety features the car became heavier, and it wasn't a fuel efficient due to the weight so it no longer became an economical car it was simply a safe sports car. The Bricklin was designed for safety with an integrated roll cage, 5 mph bumpers, and side beams. The body was fibreglass with bonded acrylic in five "safety" colours: white, red, green, orange and suntan. The cars had no cigarette lighter or ashtray. Non-smoker Malcolm Bricklin believed it was unsafe to smoke and drive. The Bricklin is the only production vehicle in automotive history with factory powered gull-wing doors that opened and closed at the touch of a button, unlike the later DeLorean DMC-12, which featured manual operation of its gull-wing doors. Power came from a 360 cu in (5,899 cc) AMC 360 V8 for 1974. Later cars used a 351 cu in (5,752 cc) Ford Windsor V8. A high-performance V8 was chosen so that in case of an impending accident, the power of the V8 was enough for the owner to pull away from the potential accident. The weight of the car, however, made this implausable. The front suspension used A-arms and coil springs, while the rear used leaf springs on a live axle. 772 model year 1974 cars were produced, 137 of which had four-speed manual transmissions. All 1975 and 1976 cars had automatic transmissions. So in 1974 you had a choice of only type of transmission and color. Then in 1975 you only had a choice of color.

  • El Bricklin SV-1 es un automóvil deportivo construido en Saint John, desde 1974 hasta principios de 1976 para el mercado de los Estados Unidos. Este coche era una creación de Malcolm Bricklin, un millonario estadounidense que había fundado previamente la sucursal de Subaru en Estados Unidos. Las ventas no resolvieron las expectativas, y solamente 2.854 coches fueron producidos antes de que la compañía entrara en bancarrota, debiendo al gobierno 23 millones de dólares. Se cree que todavía existen aproximadamente 1.500 unidades del SV-1. Este automóvil tenía elementos de seguridad ante accidentes inéditos en deportivos de los años 70, aunque también tenía algunos fallos, como la carrocería ya que se podía agrietar o deformar. Entre otras características, como elementos de seguridad tiene una jaula antivuelcos integrada, parachoques que soportan impactos de 8 km/h, y vigas de protección laterales. La carrocería es de fibra de vidrio con pintura de "colores de seguridad": blanco, rojo, verde, naranja y bronceado, el SV-1 tiene unas puertas de ala de gaviota que se abren y cierran gracias a una bomba de aire. Estos coches no tenían ningún encendedor ni cenicero, ya que según Malcolm Bricklin fumar durante la conducción era inseguro. En 1974 el motor del SV-1 era un gasolina V8 AMC 360 de 5,8 litros de cilindrada. Las unidades fabricadas durante los años 1975 y 1976 tenían un motor V8 Ford 351 Windsor de 5,8 litros, proporcionado por Ford. La suspensión era independiente en las ruedas delanteras y los muelles eran en espiral. En 1974 la producción fue de 772 unidades, 137 de las cuales tenían transmisión manual de cuatro velocidades. En 1975 y 1976 los coches tenían transmisión automática. El De Lorean DMC-12, que se asemejó al SV-1 de varias formas, utilizó un sistema mucho más confiable de barra de torsión para abrir las puertas. El Bricklin SV-1 llegó a hacer ciertas apariciones en el cine, ya que apareció en películas tales como Fast Company(1979), The Junkman(1982), Deadline Auto Theft(1983), o Smokey and the Bandit Part 3(1983).
  • Bricklin SV-1 oli vuosina 1974 - 1976 Saint Johnissa, New Brunswickissa, Kanadassa valmistettu takavetoinen urheiluauto. Yhdysvaltain markkinoille suunnatun auton loi miljonääri Malcolm Bricklin. Bricklinin tehdas ei kuitenkaan pystynyt tuottamaan autoja riittävän nopeassa tahdissa, eikä tehdas pystynyt tuottamaan kuin 2 854 autoa ennen kuin se joutui valtion haltuun hoitamattomien velkojen takia. Mallinimi SV-1 tuli sanoista safety vehicle one, turvallisuusajoneuvo numero yksi. Auto olikin suunniteltu erityisen turvalliseksi, siinä oli integroitu turvakori, sivutörmäyssuojat sekä lasikuituinen kori. Autossa ei ollut tupakansytytintä eikä tuhkakuppia, sillä Malcolm Bricklin uskoi että tupakointi ajon aikana ei ollut turvallista. Autossa oli myös ns. lokinsiipi-ovet, ja ainoana tuotantomallina autoilun historiassa Bricklin SV-1:ssä ne toimivat napin painalluksesta. Myös De Lorean DMC-12:ssa oli lokinsiipiovet, mutta ne aukesivat käsivoimin. Voimanlähteenä Bricklinissä oli vuonna 1974 AMC:n valmistama V8-moottori, ja myöhemmin Ford Windsor V8-moottori.

  • Bricklin SV1 — канадский полуспортивный автомобиль, выпускавшийся с 1974 по 1976 годы на заводе Bricklin Canada Co. в городе Сент-Джон в провинции Нью-Брансуик. Автомобили этой марки были созданы для американского рынка, но также завозились в Канаду. Кузова для них изготавливались из стеклопластика. В силовую структуру кузова входил жёсткий каркас. Первые автомобили этой марки были укомплектованы двигателем фирмы AMC 360 мощностью 229 л. с. и 4х-ступенчатой АКПП Chrysler. На них, как и на последующих автомобилях, были установлены двери типа «крыло чайки». Этот автомобиль был разрекламирован как самое безопасное транспортное средство. Первое поколение автомобилей Bricklin было выпущено ограниченым количеством — всего 140 штук. Спрос на автомобили Bricklin был очень низким из — за того, что: медленно открывались двери (причина этого проста — на первых автомобилях этой марки устанавливался гидроэлектрический механизм открытия дверей. Впоследующие годы его сменил пневматический механизм, из-за чего двери стали открыватся за 2 секунды, а не за 10, как ранее); Появившиеся на поверхности кузова царапины невозможно было удалить; Длительная стоянка автомобиля на солнце вызывала коробление поверхности кузова. Уже с 1975 года на автомобили этой марки стали устанавливать двигатели Ford Windsor и 3х-ступенчатые АКПП Ford. Эти двигатели обладали меньшей мощностью (175 л. с) и после этого претензии к данному автомобилю посыпались, как из рога изобилия и вскоре выпуск прекратился. В наши дни существует клуб владельцев Bricklin. История автомобильной марки Bricklin
