[DeTomaso] Bricklin tail lights

[asajay at asajay.com]

I've had my Pantera called a Bricklin once, and on another occasion, I  
was told there was a Pantera on this certain used car lot, but when I  
drove by, found it to be a Bricklin.

I'm not too fond of Bricklin.

> The tail lights are the same model as the Ford program Panteras. I bought a
> pair from the guy clearing the Bricklin factory stuff.
> Bricklin was manufactured in New Brunswick,CANADA by Malcolm Bricklin. No
> link to GM. Just bought power trains from FORD.
> 2,854 cars were built before the company went into receivership, owing the
> New Brunswick government $23 million.
> All the 75-76 models were automatics with 351W engines. Maybe 2V too. I
> don't recall. I always viewed them as phony posers and was sort of ashamed
> that they were made in Canada.
> Pretty disappointing cars compared to a Pantera.
