Pontiac Firebird
A common knowledge to anyone who had been carefully eyeing the automobile industry
since the very start could attest to how the Ford Motor Company has spawned the
"Pony Car" market with its sporty and daring Mustang in the mid 1964s. Naturally,
the success brought about by it came as a booming news and became a point of envy
for the rest of the automakers out there. Pontiac also dreamed of a pony car to
be added in its fleet. With a considerable reputation on the racetrack as it has
several times bagged tremendous glories since 1954, its Muscle Car trend in 1964
was a real hot stature in the business.
Pontiac Firebird evolved as the firm's Pony Car in 1967. The Firebird, as its name suggests,
has been named after General Motor's 1950s gas turbine powered concept cars. Pontiac
Firebird has been cloned from that of the Chevy Camaro and shared the same wheelbase
and platform with that of the Chevy II. Indeed, the four-passenger coupe or convertible
touched the records of the firm. The Firebird possess Pontiac's engine line theme.
Its front suspension was definitely mounted with the A-arms, coil springs, and
anti-roll bar. The rear part featured solid axle and semi-elliptic springs. For
1968, the Firebird did not change much. However, in 1969, the revision of the
sheetmetal and the headlamps as they were relocated outside of the grille were
given way.
The second generation Pontiac Firebird arrived in the early part of 1970. Despite
the really tight standards and requirements on engine power, increasing of fuel
economy, and emission legislations, surprisingly, the second generation Firebird/TransAm
did well with its sales. Pontiac Firebird continued on with its third generation
in 1982. The saddened Firebird enthusiasts were quite depressed as the official
announcement came in September 2001 that the days of the Firebird were numbered.
To them, it would be a great loss on the part of the buying public.
