Two rare cars.....one designer...one road
I was sitting in my SVX outside of a friends home this morning. I was going to take her to an interview, and she needed a couple more minutes to get ready. So I sat there watching the cars go by when all of the sudden a low, wide car appeared. Being a big DeLorean fan, I recognized it immediately. Sure enough, I was right. I sat there with my mouth wide open as the silver beauty approached me and slowed down. It turns out he was looking at the SVX! Maybe he recognized it, maybe he saw that I had similar windows. Who knows. Just goes to show you that even people that drive head turners are not impervious to doing some head turning themselves!! How often do two different Guigiaro cars share the same road?

now all you need to do is find a BMW M1. It's also Guigiaro designed. Definitely a family resemblance. Has gullwing doors, if I'm not mistaken.

The other day, I was parked next to a Brinkley. (As I think it's called. Please excuse me if I misspelled the name.). The DeLorean without the split windows, not sold under the name "DeLorean". What a Beautiful car. Oldish looking style, but very eye catching. I would liked to have talked to the guy but I was in a rush to get back to the office. How often does one get to do a side by side comparison with one of these and an SVX?

The Bricklin (Mid '70s) was either designed or imported by Malcolm Bricklin, but I don't really recall which. Ron.

Ahh yes....the Bricklin...the car that's tag line read: "Help! I've gotten in but I can't get out!" Also the same man that brought you the Yugo. I doubt that he and John D could raise the money to build a weedeater. There is a hope for humanity...

Somewhere in my archives I have a picture of my SVX giving a jump-start to a Delorian. His battery died while he was fueling, and I happened to have pulled up at the pump behind him. The battery in a DMC is in the back making it extra trouble free for me to lend a hand.

Malcom Bricklin was a furniture salesman in northeast Philadelphia. He is one of the founders of SOA. He was forced out and then conned First Pennsylvania Bank into loaning him $5 million to manufacture the Bricklin.

My mistake. That's what I was told about the Bricklin.
