Pontiac Trans Am

The Trans Am was the performance model of the Pontiac Firebird. It was named after the Sports Car Club of America's Trans-American Sedan Championship, but due to displacement limits did not compete in the series until it adopted IMSA GTO technology after the Oil Crisis of 1973. The Trans Am is noted for its 1980s model which features a phoenix on the hood. This model was used in the show Knight Rider.
