The Pontiac Firebird suffers as a somewhat forgotten member of the American performance car world. The Chevrolet Camaro, the Firebird’s corporate sibling, is far more popular. Meanwhile, the Ford Mustang is a living legend, and Dodge Challengers and Chargers are common sights on the streets. Without pop-culture touchstones like Knight Rider and Smokey and the Bandit, the Firebird might have faded from memory.
