Some Of History's Most Unique and Unusual Cars and Trucks

The Second Firebird

For the second generation of the Firebird, Earl wanted to keep the aviation styles of his original prototype, but turn the vehicle into a four-seat family car as well. The most iconic design addition to this vehicle was the two large scooped air intakes on the front bumper. But, the car did have a large drop-off from its predecessor, putting out something like 150 less horsepower than the original Firebird from a few years prior.

The Firebird II, like its older brother, was mostly used for auto shows. Although, GM did experiment with the car in order to learn from their tests and apply that knowledge to future projects.
