That was a cool find, Sergei! How did you come across that piece of literature?
The Fortvac wasn't just the Canadian version of the SS, it was an entirely new chassis and drivetrain. The body was (almost) purely SS, and indeed, one of the known cars still has the SS badging on the inside of the doors!

Thanks for the information! Yes, I had to look hard to Bernardi. I found by chance a man from New Jersey. He had not been Bernardi but has a little kit car literature. Result my search is 4 page brochure.
If I understand correctly that the red car is the first.
What a find. Magnificent! Hmm, never thought of these with full Moon hubcaps.....
This luck. I also have never seen a red car. I learned about this company from this site:
Kitcar Manufacturers at Dons Auto Pages page 2 (Manufacturers from other Countries)
Here the address. I found this list at the end of 90's. I thought it was the manufacturer of the period but later learned that Bernardi from 80's. But I suspect that there was possibly an attempt to Bernard restart ,in the 90's??? Why Bernardi joined the list of manufacturers?

That has a lot of the features found on the SS apart from the lights of course. I love the totally covered interior panels, on the SS it is just the A posts and the lower door cards, headlining is up to us. That dash must create some serious reflections on the windscreen being so upright and short against the base..
