IMO, by 1980 the hood bird had about run its coarse. Wild graphics were a product of the '70's. I remember when I got my '82 firebird I got a lot of comments like 'does it have the silly bird on the hood?' In retrospect nothing says trans am to me now like that massive decal of a fire breathing pheonix!

I agree. The red 75 gets me thumbs up every time I drive it. People take pics of it at stoplights. But this car is a plain Jane... by design. I like that about it.
