Graham,
I'm with you on the Firebird. Many years back ( when beer was tupence a loaf ) I rented a bright red Firebird from Avis at LAX and spent a month driving aroung the W.Coast being "Rockford" if you recall that tele series.
Good looking car, fast in a straight line but not a lot of space inside and the white vynal seats were not the best thing in the heat.
Happy days!
Reg
