Pontiac's Firebird' Will Debut in January Pontiac Motor Division today confirmed it is exporting the offepring will be a sporty new model called "Firebird.’’ Long rumored as file next step to round out tig popular Pontiac line, the smkll sports model will debut in late January. Pilot production is already ! begun in Chevrolet’* Lords-town, OUo, plant, bnt a majority of component parts will bemads hi Pontiac and shipped out, a spokesman said. These parts include ongipe, axles, hoods and front fenders. The Firebird will be produced in both convertible and two-door hardtop styles, seating tyro in front bucket seats, ana three in the back on bench-type seating. 186-INCH WHEELBASE Built mi the same 108-inch i wheelbase as the! Chevrolet Camaro, the Firebird will be four inches longer than the 185-inch Camaro. Standard engine wfll be a 165-horsepower six-cyfinder engine, with varioas options available. No price has been revealed, but reportedly, fiie Firebird’s ' price will be below Linco ln-Mercury Division’s $2,851 Cougar, and similar to Ford’s Mustang and Chevy’s Camaro. If the name Firebird seems familiar to both auto buyers and the industry, it’s because it has been used previously on a series of experimental, futuristic GM models from 1954 to 1988 in con-, nection with gas turbine engines. Current reports indicate the Firebird will be a conventional sports car, with a front engine and rear drive. One of file first showings of the new model will be the Chicago Auto $how in McCormick Place, beginning on Feb. 11. 1 Firebird will be fiie latest addition to a growing American tradition of sports cars which began with the Chevrolet Corvette, grew in popularity With the Ford Mustang and Plymouth Barracuda, and spread with the Chevrolet Camaro and Mercury , Cougar.

Haley, the father, was among the names in a preliminary fist of men lost when the ore carrier Daniel J. Morrell sank during a storm on Lake Huron and 28 crewmen were killed.
