About the 1974 Bricklin SV-1

The Bricklin SV-1 is a two-seat sports car built from 1974 until late 1975. The car was noteworthy for its gull-wing doors and composite bodywork of color-impregnated acrylic resin bonded to fiberglass. Assembly took place in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. The name SV-1 is an abbreviation of “safety vehicle one.” To promote the car’s safety bona fides, the company touted such features as its integrated roll-over structure and energy-absorbing bumpers.

The SV-1 was the creation of Malcolm Bricklin. Prior to his Bricklin, built in New Brunswick, Canada, with a loan from the Canadian government, Bricklin is noted as the first businessman to import the Subaru brand into the U.S. in 1968.

This particular Bricklin was left in an estate and now belongs to the museum and has been tasked with restoring the car with raised funds. You can donate towards restoring this car.
