Bricklin SV-1 Sports Car - On a Canadian Stamp!

(click to see a large version of this image)


Between 1974 and 1976 this futuristic sports car was built in New Brunswick. Canada issued a stamp in 1996 showing this car (see Scott #1605Y or Unitrade #1605Y).

An August 4, 2009 press release announced a new musical recounting the story of Bricklin - Brickin: The Musical. We understand the play is now taking place in Fredericton, New Brunswick. The artistic team contacted us and asked for a quantity of the Bricklin stamp and we were able to oblige. We wish them good luck!
