The New Brunswick government, anxious to attract jobs, agreed in 1973 to provide him with initial financing. Two years later, Bricklin motored into bankruptcy with enormous losses, including a debt of23 million dollars to New Brunswick. He had built 2,880 cars. H.A. Fredericks and Allan Chambers chronicle the Bricklin project from creation to collapse, disclosing information the New Brunswick government still considers to be confidential. They describe the production blunders, the management battles and the frills that contributed to Bricklin's collapse. 'The divergence between what Bricklin said about his car (the promotion) and what was actually happening (the business) became complete in the summer of 1975," they write. 'Before then, there had always been some tenuous link, even if it was only an admission by Bricklin that his projections were lousy. By the summer of 1975, there wasn't even a link.' In BRICKLIN, Fredericks and Chambers tell the inside story of the Bricklin car."- Publisher Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Book. …
