>Back during the period when Bricklins were being made, I remember the

>I was told that the officers' main complaint about the Bricklin concerned
>the gull wing type doors, as many felt it unduly hampered the rapidity with
>which they could get out of the car when the circumstances required a quick
>exit.

>I was wondering if there is a surviving example of the Scottsdale Police
>Dept. Bricklin.
