Bricklin SV-1 - Even with wings it couldn't fly

March 1, 2018 — Bruno von Rotz 66

Time and again, American pioneers have tried to challenge the traditional Detroit car industry with innovative new designs: Kurtis, Muntz, Kaiser Darrin, Woodhill Wildfire, Tucker or DeLorean were the names of the vehicles and none of them were really successful. Malcolm Bricklin also dreamed of his own sports car, had good ideas and even bigger visions. In the seventies, his SV-1 produced at least a respectable number of almost 3000 vehicles. And it stood out then as it does today! This driving report describes the history of the American gullwing sports car and shows it in current and historical pictures.
