Review written on 5/1958.

We've had access to the Gordon-Brull Mage for a while now. This Coupe surprised us more than the everyone else or the 7254 C969. Is it worth the price? Or should you buy a different Coupe? Read ahead to find out!


I was giddy when I heard we were testing Gordon-Brull Mage. On the track this thing is fast. How fast? Notice there are no pictures on this page? That fast! This is one of the fastest Coupe I've ever been in. As impressive as that sounds, the 106 hp @ 4624RPMs 2162 cc Flat4 engine is even more impressive. Peddle to the metal, this baby will do 116 mph easily. And in a straight line we hit a 17.538s 0 to 60 mph! The engine puts out 97 lb-ft of torque making it able to tow 284 lbs which is average for this class. The Gordon-Brull Mage handles smoothly and can really turn a corner for a Coupe. While it is certainly not a race car, it can handle any real world situation you throw at it. Mommy can I keep it? Please?!


The interior of the Gordon-Brull Mage is nothing short of amazing. It is beyond words to say how perfect this vehicle is. Only the finest materials in the greatest possible workmanship ever seen in this type of vehicle grace the Mage interior. I can not do anything but recommend the Mage for everyone. Gordon-Brull really outdid themselves.

For this type of vehicle, the cargo space and practicality of this vehicle is sub-standard. At 19 cu-ft the Gordon-Brull Mage is bested by several models in this segment. If you need space, look elsewhere.

Serious effort goes into every Gordon-Brull Mage 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.


The Gordon-Brull Mage is easily one of the most dependable vehicles ever made, it is excellently designed, excellently produced. And with just a little TLC will last forever and a decade.

At the pump station you get the feeling that someone over at Gordon-Brull really wanted to squeeze out every last drop out of this vehicle. And that person should get a raise. The Gordon-Brull Mage gets an impressive 46.5 mpg! Which means it theoretically pays for it self compared to the competition!

In some sense the Gordon-Brull Mage reminds us of an over protective parent. One that wraps you in damage proof forcefield that prevents all interaction with the outside world. While the Mage isn't that safe. It is still quite comforting to know that nothing can hurt you.


When it comes to Coupe there should be only one vehicle to think of. Have you thought of it? Did you read this article? It's the Gordon-Brull Mage the best Coupe I have ever driven! And the best one you've ever read about!
