Thanks for the memories! I owned 3 first gen firebirds back in the early 70s and this brings back fond memories. I've seen too many restorations with the goofy rear deck lid mod that I've lost count. It really ruins the clean beauty of the first generation of this beautiful car.

Horrible how the older cars used to handle. I myself had a 1969 firebird convertible and a 69 hardtop cornering was not their strongpoint. ❤

wow didn't know they came out before paved roads. Cave man days I guess. Imagine how much nicer a good handling sports car would be on pavement. The future will blow their minds. lol

I would not be racing one without a top around corners on hillsides. Racing helmet and convertibles. I suppose back then thry raced the Shelby with no roof. A roll bar would be convinient during a roll over.

I owned 3 first gen firebirds back in the early 70s but only on 68 convertible. It was a super rare sprint with the 250ci 6cyl and the 4bbl carb. I just love the styling, but I've seen too many with the goofy rear deck lid mod that I've lost count. It really ruins the clean beauty of the first generation of this beautiful car.

Many of these long commercials were played in a movie theater before the main feature and at the end include a local dealer name. A way for the theater to make extra money to a captured audience.
