Cool prototype Firebird photos
Just saw these this morning on Facebook by Brad Barrie. Pretty neat looking Firebird and has a hint of a Dick Harrell hood. 1969 Firebird Trans Am prototype. Palladium Silver. Note the differences in the hood scoops, windshield air deflector, side scoops and rear spoiler. These details would be refined for the production cars that were all painted white with blue stripes.

Some observations:
1 - looks like Milt driving it, in picture number 2 2 - hard to say, but I'm thinking Milan Dragway (Milan Michigan) 3 - already has Royal license plate frames on it! K

interesting how the prototype spoiler bows upward in the middle and then all the production models sag in the middle.

Thanks Bruce. I missed that car at the show which is nothing new as I seldom if ever get to see any of the cars at MCACN as I am too busy showing ours. Maybe next year.
