ChrisBcritter Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 My boss sent me a link to an auction that has this sleek yellow... thing; I'll try to dissuade him from adding it to his stash (which never works!), but in the meantime, anyone know what it is? I ran the license number through both DMV sites without result; 950 NDI would have been issued around '74 or '75. It doesn't match any Fiberfab, Kellison or Bradley designs I can find. Over to the experts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 I used to know 'em all, as I followed the industry closely, thinking I'd start my own kit-car company someday. I know I've seen it before, the covered headlights definitely, and the car itself is much better proportioned than the majority of the "original designs" that weren't direct copies of something else. The front engine configuration is somewhat unusual too. Thinking, thinking, thinking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972coronet Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Looks like a Bricklin, but I can't be certain -- images of Bricklin's exhibit different features. And, yes to its licence plate being 1975-issue. Last year before : 1.) Minor font alignment change & design 2.) "Month" stickers were issued [1976 calendar year]. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisBcritter Posted March 6, 2023 Author Share Posted March 6, 2023 Rob, you got it! Thanks so much! I passed it on to my boss and we'll see what happens. Hope we can find the front hood. Looks like it's one of the tube-frame examples, surprisingly with an automatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
