The Bricklin at 50 | CBC News [Video]

About 40 Bricklins lined Water Street in Saint John this weekend. New Brunswickers young and old had the chance to admire the cars and even take a seat at the wheel. 

The Bricklin was produced in Saint John and Minto in 1974 and 1975. Only about 3,000 cars were constructed by time production ended, leaving New Brunswickers out more than $23 million in tax dollars.

Bricklin enthusiasts from throughout the world brought the cars back to New Brunswick to celebrate the 50-year anniversary.

Among the 40 cars is the only black Bricklin with a black interior. It is a prototype for a never-produced model that would have been called the Chairman. 

Steven Stratton is the owner. He is the chairman of Bricklin International, a club dating back to 1976 that has about 240 members. He travelled from Virginia for the meet.
