Those are called Goldwing doors. The pivot in the roof not under the front fender. That would be a good trick with a American sport coupe.

*Gullwing

It'd be interesting, probably not a particularly good idea though.

You wouldn't be able to have T-tops, for starters. How would you get your mullet flapping in the breeze? :/

I stand corrected. Triva question: What was the first production car built in North America that had "Gullwing" doors?

And I don't have a mullet anymore everyone knows they went out of style in 2008. Almost a 25 year run of being instyle is pretty good. I am thinking 2012 Will be the year of the mullets return. I need to start growing mine again, you know to be ahead of the curve.

The only other car I can think of was the Bricklin. And it was built up in Canada I think.

Correct, Another piece of triva. John DeLorean was in negotiation with Bricklin to come to work for them. The price was 2 million a year. He turned it down at the very end. 2 years later he bought the engineering remains of Bricklin. So you could say the Brickin is the first Prototype of the Delorean. According to the Briklin engineer I saw interviewed the Delorean shared a lot with the Bricklin SV2 prototype that was never produced.

Briklin was made right here in Saint John NB! I always thought Briklin came after delorean, but Wikipedia is on your side. I wish they would have built more of them, there one crazy looking car!
