Bricklin Scandal (late 1970s)
The Bricklin Scandal emerged when Richard Hatfield, Premier of New Brunswick, invested provincial money in a car manufacturing venture that folded soon after it began. The Bricklin SV-1 was an acrylic sports car with gull-wing doors designed by Malcolm Bricklin. The car was built in Saint John and Minto, New Brunswick, but only 3,000 were made before the project was terminated.
