Q: Important Dates
What are some of the important production dates.
A: I’ve never seen any official Start/End Dates for 1967-1969 Firebird Production. Yet another thing the Billing History Files could provide… yeah, I know- this is all trivial stuff that really isn’t going to make a whole lot of difference to most people …however, it would be nice to know when the 1st 1967 Firebird rolled off the line, when the last rolled off, etc, etc…
What I’m aware of….
