Did you know about this car before?😍Something different this time, how did you like this kind of storytelling and introducing a rare car? Because there's more where that came from..😏
Cool car! Great video! I've talked with Bricklin owners at car shows. I have a Bradley GT2 which is a similar looking car that only 500 were made. You can't beat gull-wing doors!
The rear tail lights are quite similar to the Datsun 240z.
Oh yeah, they really are.
@@KeidiandCars They came from a De Tomaso Pantera.
@@brick0036 .. and a bunch of other Italian cars from the early 70´ties :-p
To reduce the stiff ride some, remove the rear torque arms if they're still on. It turns out these were unneeded. The seats, steering wheel, center console, and wheels on your car are all aftermarket.
Yeah, they came to the owner like that from the US. But I have to say the previous owner had a taste👌🏼.
Greetings from Canada. This Brick seems a long way from home? You have a very fine example there. What is the history of how this got to you? I agree it look fresh today, not 50 years old!
👋🏼, it’s my friends. Not much of a story there. Bricki was brought to Estonia back in 2008 with other cars, was just part of a bigger purchase if I remember correctly. And ended up in my friend’s collection some years back. Came already black from US and kept alive ever since.
@@KeidiandCars Thanks, I linked your vid to one of the larger Bricklin Owners pages.

@@KeidiandCars I'm embarrassed to say that I knew more about the Bricklin than Estonia. I guess that I was more interested in cars than geography in school.
@@leonardotherapydog7677 haha, understandable, but we have a cute country here with some people..😀, worth to look up.😊
nicely put together video, keep up the good work (y)
Thank youu!😎
2,906 were made. The bumpers are 10 mph before damage, higher than any other car. The Bricklin is the first car in automotive history to have powered assisted doors and 2nd car in automotive history to have gull wing doors behind the 1950s Mercedes SL coupe. I had an orange '74 and loved it. Build quality was poor but did improve late in production during '75. John DeLorean copied his car after Malcolm's car. Note the resemblance. About 1700 cars still exist.
