The Bricklin SV-1, produced by the now-defunct Bricklin Canada Ltd., is a distinctive sports car that gained attention in the 1970s. Conceived by American entrepreneur Malcolm Bricklin, the SV-1 (Safety Vehicle One) was designed with an emphasis on safety features, including integrated roll bars and energy-absorbing bumpers. Production began in 1974 in New Brunswick, Canada. The car featured gull-wing doors and was powered by an American Motors Corporation (AMC) V8 engine. Despite its innovative design and safety focus, the Bricklin SV-1 faced challenges, including quality control issues and financial difficulties. Production ceased in 1976, and the company filed for bankruptcy. The Bricklin SV-1 remains a unique and collectible part of automotive history, known for its distinctive features and the entrepreneurial spirit behind its creation.
