Saw this today - 1969 Firebird convertible

[Laughing Coyote]

Leaving the grocery store parking lot today I got a quick picture of a 1969 Firebird convertible. Looks pretty nice.

Very nice, and original looking (to my non-Pontiac eye.) I turned 11 years old in 1969 and thought about cars like this all day long. 😄

I always wondered why Pontiac decided to call that color (Carousel Red) 'red' rather than ____________ Orange, or something else...

I think it was the same colour that chevy called orbit orange? trying to be different I suppose.

Chevrolet called that color "Hugger Orange" on Camaro's, and "Monaco Red" on Chevelles, although some Chevelle folks call it "Monaco Orange."

Thank you, I stand corrected. I think Orbit Orange may have been a Pontiac colour after all.
