The Pontiac Firebird is an American pony car introduced in 1967 as Pontiac's counterpart to the mechanically related Chevrolet Camaro, sharing GM's F-body platform. Offered across four generations into the 2000s, it became closely associated with its high-performance Trans Am variant, which gained wide popular recognition through film and television appearances in the 1970s and 1980s.
