Between 1974 and 1975, auto workers in New Brunswick built nearly 3,000 of the Bricklin SV-1, an unusual acrylic-skinned, gull-winged sports car created by American entrepreneur Malcolm Bricklin. This excerpt from a 1974 company documentary, "The Bricklin Story", shows what building a brand-new car in a brand-new factory was like, and how workers felt about their new boss.

What's with the synth sounds? Do they make droids in the Bricklin factory, too?

This footage is from a documentary filmed in 1974- you'd have to ask the production crew about their music choices. A factory making plastic cars was pretty sci-fi stuff for the time.

@CanadianAutomotiveMuseum Yes, a very 70's corporate film soundtrack. I'm a fan of the Bricklin. It dared to be different in the middle of the malaise era. People who complain on the build quality never drove a mid to late 70's Corvette.

This is a perfect example of why government should (outside of a declared war) never, EVER get involved directly in the economy. ☮

at this point if we want anything to change we need a reset, north america is done for if we keep the way things are.

This is a wild take. The goals and structure of the economy must be set by oversight, or we're back in robber baron territory (which is creeping up as is). Pretty much every large, successful company has massive government involvement; to say nothing of the vast amount of subsidies that companies like boeing tesla etc snarfle down. I'd much rather the government spend money on trying to get work to a disadvantaged town then send it to line some billionaire's pockets or build another overpriced missile.
