The Bricklin SV-1, crafted by visionary businessman Malcolm Bricklin, was a bold two-seater sports car produced between 1974 and 1975.

With its iconic gull-wing doors and innovative composite body made from acrylic resin and fiberglass, it was truly ahead of its time. Built in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, the SV-1—short for “Safety Vehicle One”—proudly showcased safety features like energy-absorbing bumpers and a roll-over structure, setting it apart from its peers.
