Nice pic. I too remember the first time I sat in one of these cars at the car show. I was determined to get one in the future....3 years later I succeeded .

That's not memory lane...

If I showed a picture of me sitting in a Trans Am at a car show when I was 8, it woulda been a 1972 model.

I'm more from the Dukes of Hazzard era And I can say that in this forum because in one episode they had a cheesy '79-'81 Firebird convertible conversion. Piloted by some ladies and their 80's hair
