From the Editors

ldquoWelcome To South Floridardquo

In this issue we are showcasing three exceptional shows expanding over 100 miles and in three counties that form our Tri-county area While going through the many pictures that were taken at each event it came to mind how fortunate we are those of us who live in South Florida In every show we were in company of so many visitors from out of town visitors from places as far as China Russia and Argentina literally from all corners of the world Not to mention all the out of state license plates that once a year make a temporary home until one day they decide to stay

Truly we have been influenced by the whole world and it is harder to find a 2nd generation South Floridian than a new Florida resident At the same time it is so easy to pick out South Florida from any picture when you see it The palm trees the architecture the beautiful people with their distinctive style We are fortunate to live in a place where so many people come to vacation and so many more dream they can come

There is no question South Florida is Sui Generis of its own kind

Hopping cars as u kno come from the lowrider culture To begin with a hopper is to start 1st with the frame U must reinforce the frame so it can with stand the weight on the hop Then reinforce everything on the car like undercarriage like a arms and the rear end Also the quarter panels Then you get a hydraulic set up I have a high hitters single pump set up Then u set up the pistons in place put some batteries batteries in the car Then u have a hopper But now in days itrsquos all about being the highest and the cleanest rides So I went all out with the paint music interior and the hydros Got the car painted by Chicho and Pancho in pompano Sounds by Chicho and Geo Hydraulic set up by hoppers hydraulics in Hialeah And still working on the car

NostalgiaThe Bricklin SV-1

No Sleep lsquoTil Bricklin

Imagine a snapshot in time when cars were plastic had suede seats and were only available in colors that you would find in Christmas lights Sounds like paradise Of course it doesnrsquot But it does makes for an interesting storythe story of the car called the Bricklin SV-1

The SV-1 (short for Safety Vehicle-1) was the brainchild of Malcolm Bricklin a self-made US-born entrepreneur who had worked his way up from the building supply business into the automobile industry and was best known for founding Subaru of America in 1968 In the early 1970rsquos Bricklin had a dream to create a car that was far ahead of its time in regards to safety standards yet was affordable and easy to maintain He took his dream to Canada and was able to convince the government of New Brunswick to provide him with a manufacturing plant in the province and loan money to get his business rolling Determined to get production up and running Bricklin persevered through cost overruns labor difficulties and material supply issues with the first SV-1 rolling off the assembly line in the summer of 1974

There were a number of interesting features in the

car The body was comprised of acrylic bonded to fiberglass similar to the body of the Chevrolet Corvette of which the SV-1 was theoretically a competitor Automatic gull-wing doors activated by the push of a button on the center console or the carrsquos exterior were standard equipment and the SV-1 remains the only car to date to provide these in every vehicle Based on Bricklinrsquos belief that smoking while driving was too distracting the car contained no cigarette lighter or ashtray even as optional equipment True to its name the Safety Vehicle came in a choice of five ldquoSafetyrdquo colors White Red Orange Suntan and Green guaranteeing that the car would be spotted by other motorists and presumably law enforcement personnel (for better or for worse) In another nod to safety the frame of the car contained a steel roll cage and side rails to isolate drivers from impacts

Novelty can be a selling point but quirkiness can go both ways and the oddities surrounding the Bricklin eventually spelled doom for this one-of-a-kind vehicle The car was prone to overheating due to extremely small radiator openings feeding air to a large V-8 engine The automatic gull-wing doors ndash a selling point ndash malfunctioned and were extremely expensive for the company to fix Bricklin for all his financial success was not knowledgeable in the nuts and bolts of running an automobile company For reasons we may never know he surrounded himself with family members as officers of the Bricklin car company and sold cars at a price that was estimated to be less than half of what it cost to build them Needless to say by the end of 1976 the assembly line had shutdown the Bricklin SV-1 ended its short run through the market and the car began its trip towards legend status Bricklinrsquos creation did not fade away completely as it was featured in a TIME magazine series in 2007hellipunfortunately on their list of the worst 50 cars of all time

That seems a bit harsh for this obscure bit of automotive oddness that pushed the boundaries of the era and was founded on a dream of protecting the passengers while providing an enjoyable driving experience While it did not achieve its goals the SV-1 is a beacon of entrepreneurial sprit and maintains a loyal fan base despite (or because of) its history


Steve Gannon is the proud owner of this Bricklin SV-1He has owned it for some time and finds it very enjoyable Thank you for sharing your vehicle with us

OSCAR CASTROMeet Oscar Castro Despite some physical impediments he finds a way to give back to the community and serve his fellow man Oscar is the founder of Benefitcarshowscom An organization that helps raise funds for charities and needy groups Last year he was able to help raise thirty-five thousand dollars and help Toys for Tots surpass 1500 toys in our view a total success He is also the President of the Antique Automobile Club of America South Florida Region (AACA) and AMC car enthusiast Rods amp Classics USA had a recent interview with Oscar and this is what he had to say

Oscar tell us a little bit about yourselfI grew up in Miami I attended Miami Springs Senior High School and graduated in 1972 Back then Miami Springs was the only high school to have a computer programing class I really enjoyed it I decided that computers were going to be my career

What did you do after you graduated from high schoolAfter high school I went to work for the Federal Reserve It was a very demanding job I was always on call I was given one of the original cell phones The darn thing was in a brief case Later I went to work for myself After twenty-two years of being self-employed I went to work for American Bankers I retired in 2008

Is there a car that you always wantedIn 1973 I remember going to buy a car with my wife Marcia We had just gotten married and we went to an AMC dealer There I saw this beautiful 1972 Javelin I fell in love with it I wanted that car I was like a kid in a toyshop Then I heard my wife say ldquothat doesnrsquot look like a family carrdquo She brought me back down to Earth We ended up getting an AMC Hornet Station Wagon

Did you ever find a JavelinThirty years later I said to myself I need to find that Javelin that I had to pass up After three years of searching I found a Pierre Cardin Javelin I found it in Texas Just like the Javelin I passed up I bought it and shipped it to my front door It has been my pride and joy

What was the first car show you attendedMy first car show was in 2005 at Cauley Square I took my 1972 Javelin Thatrsquos when I started getting more interested in the classic car hobby Later I became a member of the AACA My interest and knowledge of old classic cars began to grow It was very exciting

How did Benefitcarshowscom startI got the idea when my son David was put in-charge of the Navy Ball at the US Naval Air Station in Key West He needed to raise about $8000 dollars for the event David called me asking for some ideas and help I said why donrsquot we have a car show So we had a four day car show in the Navy Base It was a great success From then on I began helping other organizations with fundraisers I created Benefit Car Show right after that

What have been some of the organizations that you have helped trough BenefitcarshowscomWe have helped the Army of Hope Church Wings Over Miami Village of Palmetto Bay US Marines Toys for Tots and several others but let me tell you that it would have been impossible to do so without the help of others such as Bullseye Powder Coating

When did you become President of the AACA South Florida Region In December 2013 I became President of the South Florida Region We have a great group of classic car enthusiast in the AACA

What have you accomplished as the AACA South Florida Region President So far my accomplishment has been to implement a Youth Program ages 12 to 25 can now join the South Florida Region as long as they are in school The cost is $12 dollars a year

One last question You are an AMC guy how did you end up with that 1973 Mustang Convertible Thatrsquos a funny story My son in law was looking to buy a 1973 Mustang I was helping him look for one and found this one I had taken my five year old granddaughter with me to see the car She climbed in the front seat and looked so cute inside Before you know it I bought the car

From the Editors

ldquoWelcome To South Floridardquo

In this issue we are showcasing three exceptional shows expanding over 100 miles and in three counties that form our Tri-county area While going through the many pictures that were taken at each event it came to mind how fortunate we are those of us who live in South Florida In every show we were in company of so many visitors from out of town visitors from places as far as China Russia and Argentina literally from all corners of the world Not to mention all the out of state license plates that once a year make a temporary home until one day they decide to stay

Truly we have been influenced by the whole world and it is harder to find a 2nd generation South Floridian than a new Florida resident At the same time it is so easy to pick out South Florida from any picture when you see it The palm trees the architecture the beautiful people with their distinctive style We are fortunate to live in a place where so many people come to vacation and so many more dream they can come

There is no question South Florida is Sui Generis of its own kind
