In reply to the discussion: What was your 1st car? [View all]FoxNewsSucks
(10,429 posts)78. 1977 Pontiac Firebird
Actually my 2nd car, I saw the post above about 1st car being a common security question.
The one pictured is just like mine with two exceptions - mine had the snowflake wheels and red interior. I really liked that car. Like most (all) late 70's and early 80's cars it was worn out by the time it had 60k. Of course, that could also be caused by my driving. . .
I still love the style of the 77-81 Firebirds. I'll admit that at the time it was partly influenced by the Smokey and the Bandit movies and the Rockford Files. I would love to have that same body style with modern mechanical and interiors.
