The studio model of the Firebird III from 1957, one year before the concept car was built. The model was lacquered black in order to best showcase the highlights of the form and is now for sale at Wright Auctions. Designed under the leadership of Harley J. Earl, the General Motors Firebird III is among the most radical designs of the 20th century. Its space-age styling and advanced technology clearly reflect midcentury America’s optimism about the future.
