E015 - Jason Harris at Reynolds Alberta Museum & the Bricklin SV-1 / Boy Golden and the 1995 Toyota Previa Auto-Biography

    • Fordon

Well, the 1970s were a crazy time, and a swinging fellow by the name of Malcolm Bricklin decided he should build a sports car. Made of plastic. With gull wings. Built in New Brunswick. And it should come with a gold jumpsuit. Like Icarus, he tried to touch the sky, but when he flew to close to the sun, the body panels on the Bricklin SV-1 melted. Jason Harris from Reynolds Alberta museum tells us why the Bricklin started him in an automotive career, and why we sadly never saw this Canadian sports car achieve the legendary status dreamt of.

Boy Golden wears the best mustache to come out of Winnipeg since Burton Cummings. In reality, he's maybe the best songwriter to come out of Winnipeg since Burton, too. Every hero has his steed, and Boy Golden talks about his 1995 Toyota Previa, and why he thinks his van is the coolest of all the vans. He's a real E-VAN-Gelist. Get it? Boy Golden's album Church of Better Daze will put a smile on your face and a tap in your toe. Lovely tunes for a happy cruise in the vehicle that moved you.  www.boygolden.ca https://sixshooterrecords.com/artists/boy-golden/
