Malcolm Bricklin Interview: SV-1 History, Engine Problems, Canadian Govt., EV startups, & more!

[@thomshere]

Malcolm Bricklin is a genius and my automobile hero! I grew up about a mile from John DeLorean (who my dad worked for in Pontiac, Michigan) at "PMD" which stood for Pontiac Motor Division, and even though DeLorean had all the money in the world at his disposal from General Motors to design cars, Malcolm Bricklin was so far ahead of the curve and built cars that look amazing and modern today with a pittance of what GM spent and I would love to own one today.

Mesmerizing story by a fascinating man. His struggles that were followed by going bankrupt made me very sad while still admiring his strong will.

[@opsimathics]

This guy has it out for inertia and the laws of conventional physics. I like him.

[@TheDeLoreanman]

Awesome interview! You need to interview Barrie Wills. He worked for Delorean, Reliant, and other quirky cars....and he worked with Malcolm in the 80s.

[@American-Motors-Corporation]

Thank you for posting this! I could listen to Malcolm for hours! I like business guys like him, they'll give you an education you just can't get in school! Knowledge from those who live the life is the best!

[@AutoMoments]

So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[@jblumemusic4455]

Love Mr. Bricklin. Just learned about him. He had a chance to take a very dishonest turn during his pending bankruptcy from a corrupt Canadian premier. That dishonest turn could have made Malcolm's life much easier, -and he didn't take the bait. That's what I call: balls. Good for you Mr. Bricklin.

[@jschadle1]

Thanks so much for posting the full interview! He is such an interesting man.

[@julianmoreau3281]

What an amazing guy to listen to. I hope him the best with his cars. Of course, here in Argentina we'll never get anything he builds, so...

[@notpurple]

extremely interesting dude.... thanks for sharing the whole thing.

[@xrmerkur]

looking forward to more AutoMoments. you’re almost at 40k.

[@OBC-radio]

Looking forward to your next video!

[@kierancurtis8545]

Absolutely fascinating. Malcolm comes across as a decent chap and really interesting. Thanks for making this! Excellent as ever! Keep it up.

[@AutoMoments]

Thanks for watching!

[@foskco87]

What I really dont understand is why AMC agreed on a deal to sell Bricklin the 360 engines in the first place if they saw it as a threat to their own sales.

[@theflyingspringbk]

Good on you for sticking to you're guns, too many people just clickbaiting for views. Loved the show dude

[@Bricklinsv1970]

I love that Dude! Bricklinsv1 has always been one of my favorite cars!

[@AutoMoments]

Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@boulandmotorsusa1228]

Great interview with Malcom, automotive history.

[@Seasonal50]

Any uploads coming? It’s been awhile.

[@AutoMoments]

Yes, we do have plans for the future. It's just been a busy year. Expect some really cool videos for 2022!

[@beeleo]

I can't believe a video maker can setup a shot so well like this and mic up Malcom so well and still seem to be oblivious to the fact that if THEY are going to be the person asking the guest questions, people will want to HEAR the questions being asked. Don't you have TWO microphones??? I've stopped halfway through the video to write this. I guess I'm going to watch the rest of the video because Malcom Bricklin is very interesting and charismatic, but I'd like to be able to HEAR the questions that Malcom is answering without having to back up the video and crank up the volume just to hear you.

[@FullSpecO]

Very nice interview with a very interesting man, thank you! However your logo should be bigger.

[@BIGBADWOOD]

SPOT ON

[@84GordonShumway]

Fascinating interview. They do not make them like Malcolm anymore. Just one comment, ADD closed caption to the reporter's questions as the audio is very low.

[@Very_Angry_Citizen]

The original Brickin video was awesome. This is just showing off. LOL just kidding bro. Your shit ROCKS!

[@vladgladkov405]

Do you have yugo for sale

[@DHT2023]

You had me at Windsor 😎

[@BIGBADWOOD]

I would have worked for this man for free just for the opportunity to build the Bricklin .

[@1silvervespa]

This guy was living it . From the ground up.

[@detroit8v715]

Met Malcolm twice at the Bricklin car meets. The car itself, while not fast or built well, is still fun to own. Cooler than a stupid Corvette which any twit can have and not gimmicky at all. Malcolm also brought Fiat to the U.S. as well.

[@John-i3t9o]

Bricklin says his vehicles have to be safe? And he imported the Yugo? He is a magical pied-piper/snake oil salesman. I do have to give him credit for bamboozling plenty of very smart people. Beautiful costs the same as ugly? Again, was the Yugo beautiful? Was the Subaru 360 beautiful?

[@RojerLockless]

It's 100% the doors.

[@John-i3t9o]

Bricklin embellishes his role with Subaru. Subaru didn't get to where they are today because of Bricklin.

[@marvwatkins7029]

This guy was always a total joke, just like his namesake car and HIS Yugo. He never was a real auto expert, just a pretentious fraud.

[@rajrammbbs]

Should've changed the labor laws to further limit unemployment benefits.

[@vladgladkov405]

I am looking for buy yugo we all go

[@markoberacher8191]

Salesman to the core. I get it now.

[@classicautorepair2100]

Con man. The Jim Baker of the automotive world .

[@richardthomas1566]

Just an ugly car

[@rwdplz1]

Even Malcolm knew Faraday was a scam XD

[@daveg5297]

It's clear that most of this guy's admirers weren't around or weren't paying attention in the 70s. Bricklin is a fast-talking con man. No more, no less. Even in this interview, decades later, he's passing the buck. Have the decency to grin, stare at the camera and admit you're a lying con man who got rich separating fools from their money.

[@1silvervespa]

So true planned obsolescence ... ugh. Design expense into the cars.

[@1silvervespa]

Malcolm probably does not drive a big 3 Car ....
