Bricklins take over Saint John for the 50th anniversary

[Mineral Grey]

Many Bricklins took over Saint John last week. Most I've seen together was 39, not sure how many in total..
They came from all over to celebrate the 50th anniversary in the city that built them. I've always admired these from a young age, my father worked at Bricklin and I've had cousins and uncle's that owned them.
Friday- Speedway 660 let them use the track for a few laps then back to Saint John where they had the original prototype Bricklin (the Gray Ghost) on display for all to see. The original factory in East Saint John is still there and the current tenant put on a bbq for them and all past employees, they even put up the Bricklin banner on the building. Saturday they closed down water Street for a Bricklin only car show. And then Longbay brewery had a bbq for all and to show off there Bricklin Brew. Sunday there was a poker run throughout southern NB to show all our beautiful coastal routes

That's awesome !!

I still have a lasting childhood memory of going out to the factory in the Grandview Industrial Park as a young lad and seeing a parking lot full of Bricklins, pretty cool.

Bucket list car for sure.

that is so cool, I was away but that would be worth the trip to see,
the history is cool and they came so close to really making the big time.

Sweet!! Great idea of doing a meet for this big of an event for the only car built in NB!

I was wondering when coming back from our Campobello Island camping trip Monday why we were crossing a slew of Bricklins when the most I had seen at once was one. After a few quick research we found out that this event happened. really happy to see your pictures, thanks for sharing!

Yes we've been there at the same time as fog fest, not really knowing what fog festing entails But, We quickly realized where the festival name came from!

Fog Fest is actually on Campobello Island, but the fog saying still remains! These two light house pictures were shot within the same half an hour, both sides of the island.
