Firebird is an American automobile built by Pontiac from 1967 to
the 2002 model years. Designed as a Pony Car to compete with the
Ford Mustang, it was introduced February 23, 1967, the same model
year as GM's Chevrolet division platform-sharing Camaro. This also
coincided with the release of the 1967 Mercury Cougar, Ford's
upscale, platform-sharing version of the Mustang. The turning point
for the late 1970's Trans Am's occurred in 1976. The corporate bean
counters had all but given up on killing off the T/A, especially
when they saw the enormous profit the model was brought in.
Gradually, nearly as many Trans Ams left the assembly line as the
other Firebirds...combined. The 1975 455 HO package was carried
over for the '76 model year. It was, however, renamed "455
Four-Barrel Performance Package" and "HO" was subsequently removed
from the shaker. The '76 Model T/A got a more integrated front-end
appearance, enhancing the visual appeal. The new front end returned
the parking lamps below the front bumper, each within a narrow
cooling slot. The color-keyed front bumper smoothly integrated into
the front header panel which was still comprised of fiberglass.
Round headlamps made their last second generation appearance on the
1976 edition.
