Developmental model for GM’s Firebird III could fetch $30,000 at auction

[DynoDave]

"GM’s Firebird III concept car envisioned plenty of far-flung futuristic technologies, from turbine drivetrains to automotive autonomy, but the process used to design and build the concept car relied on tried-and-true methods, as we can see from the two-foot-long resin model that GM’s design staff used in developing the concept car, which will come up for auction later this year".

That's one thing I miss about working in the VEC...they used to bring some interesting cars out for display out by Java City. Was there the day the announced the return of the Camaro (5th gen.), which was a fun event.

When we worked at the Truck Product Center, they would also display cars in the main hallway, just behind the security desk at the main entrance. Truck concepts, antiques, Autorama cars like the LeSabre. Lots of cool stuff for an old buy from central Illinois to see.

That's a fair amount for a model.

When I was a kid my Dad worked for GM research at the Tech center. The actual car sat in the lobby on display for years. Every once in a while he would take me into his work and would make him stop every time so I could drool over that thing.
