I agree with your argument but not conclusion. These things were the first cars Mercedes made in the US. They were terrible quality. They also happen to be modern enough to have plenty of electronics, motors, etc that can go bad. I wouldn’t touch any of these unless I was prepared to simply walk away from it when the…

Re: fact #2: They should have just changed the venue to the Four Seasons in Philadelphia. That door looks plenty wide!

Unfortunately, that bending occasionally caused the three-piece layered part to come delaminate. How to tell if they had become delamin…

I had one drive up next to me in downtown Oshawa about a month ago as well. Orange one and looked to be nicely restored, at least the exterior. I too did the “that’s a Bricklin!” exclamation to which my wife replied, “what the hell is a Bricklin?”
