Went on an adventure, today to the Canadian Automotive Museum, nice museum in Oshawa. Learned a lot about Canadian Automotive history. A bit of a trek from Toronto via GO transit, worth it

Did they have a Bricklin?

Saw one of those last year at a show, most awful light tan color, some guy telling his buddy it was what Delorean did before the aluminum car. Those are interesting cars though.

It was Malcolm Bricklin. The guy who brought us the Dune Buggy, Subaru and Yugo. He got the New Brunswick gov't to put up $26mm to build in Saint John NB. 2700 made before they went belly up. Can't believe they didn't have one in the museum! Acrylic body. Interesting car.

A Delorean was there, actually think they're a bit ugly, very dated

The Delorean was stainless steel.

...and didn't have windows that rolled down. When the AC puked, you were baked in the oven.
Delorean had 7 years to learn from Bricklin's mistake. I guess he learned lesson one and two - Lesson 1: Get someone else to pay for it. Lesson 2: When getting someone else to pay for it, find a foreign government desperate for jobs.

Senior moment. They built an early dune buggy together in the Subaru frame and I believe a prototype bricklin
