The Pontiac Firebird is perhaps one of the most classic cars ever made, thanks to various popular culture references hooked up to it. It was first made in 1967 by Yank automaker General Motors, thru their Pontiac division. The firebird was introduced along with its cousin in the GM family, the Chevrolet Camaro, with which it shared a platform. As with its competitors, it was introduced head-on with the Mercury Cougar of Ford. The engines powering the Firebird from the start and for most of its existence till its last year in 2002 were V8 engines. First, Pontiac engines powered it up to 1982 when GM engines were used. Since its last appearance in 2002, no efforts have been made to revive the line. The chance of a Firebird revival has further been made impossible by the discontinuation of the Pontiac brand after 2010. This is in spite of the news that the Chevrolet Camaro will make a return for the 2010 model year.
The first generation of Firebirds was available from 1967 until 1969 and was assembled in Pontiac facilities in Van Nuys, California and Norwood, Ohio. It was available in 2-door coupes and convertibles. In 1969, a Trans-Am package for the Firebird was introduced, which only furthered the popularity of the ar. A Trans-Am package featured upgraded suspension, handling, and horsepower. Aesthetic differences with the Trans-Am package include fog lights, wheels, hoods, and spoilers. The second generation of Firebirds and Trans-Ams from 1970 to 1981 was in charge of cementing the brand in Yankee pop culture. The 2-door convertible was dropped. The second generation vehicle was seen in the films Smokey and the Bandit, Hooper and Smokey and the Bandit II. The third generation, which was available from 1982 until 1992, was featured in the movies Alphabet City and Smokey and the Bandit Part 3. The TV show Knight Rider featured a speaking auto, KITT, which was essentially a modified Trans-am of the 3rd generation. Sadly, declining sales made General Motors discontinue the brand, with the Pontiac GTO replacing it.
