Default Re: Ricks Fitch Firebird...very rare Bird

Cliff, congrats! Very rare car!

They did make more than one V8. I have several publicity photos of one that has a/c and power brakes, an aftermarket steering wheel, and a couple huge toggle switches on the dash to run the wipers and flashers. It also had the trademark Fitchbird grille mesh, but did not have the auxiliary lights in the valance panel like yours does. I would imagine that the few Fitchbirds that were built were all customized depending on the customer's taste, or perhaps however John Fitch wanted to customize them.
