1970 Pontiac Firebird

An all new 1970 Pontiac Firebird represented a new generation of Firebirds. The 2nd generation Firebirds had new styling with a front bumper and recessed grille that was molded out of Endura rubber and painted the same color as the car to giving it a bumperless appearance. Single headlights, split side markers, flush door handles and enlarged wheel openings also highlighted the changes for the new generation. The suspension was also revised and a rear stabilizer bar was added.
