Here's a fascinating story of the original concept car from 1964 that would eventually be called the "Firebird"

It started out looking much like a Corvette and was originally going to be called "Banshee"....Sometime during all of this, someone looked up the word Banshee and found that one definition was that of a mythical demon-like figure who foretold of a death in the family......aka: "fiery bird of death"


The Banshee was dropped.


Gorgeous concept.....Take a look!
