1967 Pontiac Firebird convertible. Taken at the 2014 New South Wales All American Day, held at Castle Towers Shopping Centre, Castle Hill, Sydney.
Firebirds' Colorado lodge atmosphere features architectural designs as grand as the Rockies themselves. The oversized stone fireplace, exposed wooden beams and stacked stone columns make for a cozy, comfortable setting. The open air kitchen and smoky aromas from the hardwood flames infuse the restaurant, while the upbeat music pulsating through the room gives off a cool, hip vibe.
The combination of bold flavors, sauces and spices creates a unique style of American cuisine that originated in Aspen, Colorado. Specialties include steaks grilled over the open flame, herb roasted prime rib, fresh seafood, hearty pasta, awesome burgers and giant salads. The sum of all these details makes for one very dynamic dining experience.

First Generation (1967-1969)
To get the Firebird into production, Pontiac shared not just the basic structure of the Camaro, but most of the sheetmetal, as well. The front fenders and door skins of the 1967 Firebird were Camaro pieces, and the rear quarters were Camaro parts with simulated vents stamped in. But with its split front grille, beaked hood and slitted GTO-like taillights, the Firebird managed to evoke its own personality when it went on sale as both a coupe and convertible on February 23, 1967.
What gave the first Firebird its personality was beneath the hood. Pontiac built its own engines then (as did Buick, Oldsmobile, Cadillac and Chevrolet), and only Pontiac engines went into the Firebird — not a one was shared with the Camaro.
While retaining most of its structural hard points, the 1969 Firebird got a restyling similar to the same year Camaro's: It was broader in the fenders with a new front end that separated the headlights from the grille. Except for the revised body work and freshened interior, the basic elements of the '68 Firebird carried over to '69. The 350 H.O. gained five horsepower for a total of 325, and atop the mountain of 400s offered sat the new Ram Air IV making 345 horsepower. Those changes, though, were merely a prelude to the big news of 1969: Trans Am.
It wasn't more power that made the Trans Am special, but its looks and handling. Conceived to campaign in the SCCA's road racing series (with a special de-stroked 303-cubic-inch V8 never installed on the production car), Pontiac paid $5 to the racing organization for each Trans Am sold as a license fee for the name. With a special dual intake scooped hood, deck spoiler, fender vents and white with blue stripe paint scheme, the Trans Am was easily the flashiest Firebird yet. With its lowered suspension, big antisway bars, larger tires and Ram Air III (making 335 horsepower) or Ram Air IV 400 V8, it was also the best handling and most sophisticated. Going on sale in March of '69, only 697 Trans Ams were sold during this first model year (including eight convertibles). A slow start for what would become an automotive icon.
