Review written on 6/1948.

We've had access to the Gordon-Brull Wind for a while now. This Coupe Utility surprised us more than the Shop or the 6657. Is it worth the price? Or should you buy a different Coupe Utility? Read ahead to find out!


Even though the Gordon-Brull Wind wasn't designed for it, our first test was the track. Right away we knew this Coupe Utility was an under performer. The 77 hp @ 2451RPMs 3675 cc V4 engine was too weak to move us around the track at any decent speed. This lackluster combination could only bring us to a top speed of 86 mph and on the strip do 19.515s 0 to 60 mph acceleration. While the 132 lb-ft of torque you get is not insane it is more than enough to tow 2519 lbs which was a decent amount for this class. The good thing about the Gordon-Brull Wind is that it's actually handles better than your typical Coupe Utility. Its cornering abilities surpass the norm. So if it's weaving through cars in traffic or trying to do a lap around our track. The Wind is a good choice.


The Gordon-Brull Wind's interior is well designed. The seats have enough support to get you over a long trip, and the material qualities, while not amazing, are more than adequate. Many optional features in other vehicles are standard here. This leads to an overall nice experience inside the Wind.

The cramped Gordon-Brull Wind will leave your passengers knees permanently attached to their chest after you fold them up and slide them into that space they call a seat. The Wind's tiny 12 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space leaves very little room for even this review!

Serious effort goes into every Gordon-Brull Wind produced. The build quality of these vehicles is amazing! We could not find a single flaw in its construction while we were testing it. Everything fits properly, nothing is misaligned or misplaced. All of us here at GCM commend Gordon-Brull in their efforts when it comes to the production of this vehicle.


Dog is said to be man's best friend. But that saying isn't true anymore. I propose the Gordon-Brull Wind is truly man's best friend. Not once in our long term testing did it need repair. This vehicle was built to last a life time. It is truly a wonder of the world. Centuries from now people will still probably be driving this thing, that's how rock solid it is.

The folks over at Gordon-Brull did a good job when it came to fuel economy. The Wind gets a 23.9 mpg city and which is nothing to scoff at. While it may not be best in class, it is well above average.

The extra effort from Gordon-Brull to make the Wind feel safer pays off. The reinforced frame makes the vehicle much more impact resistant. Don't go driving into walls your self, just take our word for it.


The Gordon-Brull Wind is one of those cars you would never buy new. In fact, it's the type of Coupe Utility you try to avoid used. Only the down and out or the young will ever drive one of these. Preferably used.
