Bremen (United States) - AllCarIndex

Bremen was an American automotive manufacturer based in Bremen, Indiana, that operated from approximately 1969 to 1988. The company was also known by the names ARX Industries and B.S.C. Corp. Bremen specialized in producing kit cars, which allowed enthusiasts to build their own vehicles from supplied components.

One of Bremen's notable offerings was the Sebring, a variation of the popular Sterling (Nova) kit car of the 1970s. Under the leadership of president Al Hildebrand, who had previously been a distributor for the Sebring, the company made several modifications to the original design. While the general shape remained similar, changes included a shortened nose and retractable headlight covers. The Sebring was primarily based on the Volkswagen floorpan, but Bremen also provided a variant powered by a V6 engine, featuring a tube frame and four-wheel disc brakes. The most advanced version of the Sebring was equipped with a turbocharged 3,800 cc V6 engine.

In addition to the Sebring, Bremen produced other models such as the Creighton, a neoclassic kit car resembling a 1930s American convertible, which was based on the Ford Pinto or Mustang II. The company also offered the Mini Mark, a small and affordable neoclassic kit car utilizing Volkswagen running gear, and a dune buggy known as the Citation, which featured a Ford Model T-inspired nose. This buggy eventually evolved into a full-length version called the Maxi-Taxi. All of these models were available in either kit or fully assembled forms. Furthermore, Bremen imported various kit cars from Brazil, including the Puma, Ventura, Adamo, Glaspac Cobra, and Lafcr.
