4 Canadian Automotive Failures

Tuscon Published 10/04/2012

Maybe ahead of the times or maybe poorly designed...probably both.

1.
Le Roy, built in 1903 in Berlin, Ontario. They only built 20 before the company went bankrupt. The price in 1903 was 650, average annual income 275
2.
In 1931 the Frontenac debuted as the Depression deepened
3.
1931 Frontenac
4.
The Manic GT was a good car and had a two month waiting list. In 1971 they produced only 160 cars. The problem, a dependence on parts from Renault, and the supply of parts could not be met.
5.
71 Manic GT
6.
The Bricklin was an attempt to make a high performance safety car. Performance figures rated favorably against the contemporary Corvette, which most auto magazines used as a point of comparison.
7.
Design and engineering flaws would lead to the collapse of the car in 1976
