In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of...
Pontiac's FIREBIRD GIRL! In 1983 the Firebird Girl was Ms. Natalie Carroll. Ms. Carroll, a Detroit-based model, was featured in all sorts of Pontiac promotional material, including print ads, sales brochures and even a few TV commercials, plus the now infamous 1983 Pontiac Excitement calendar.
This calendar featured many of the racing vehicles that Pontiac Motor Division sponsored that year. You might call it a racy calendar. At least one Pontiac executive thought that the images, or perhaps only one image, of Ms. Carroll was TOO racy. The calendar was recalled from distributors shortly after its release. I became an instant collector's item. Most of you have never seen the contents of this calendar. Many of you weren't even born at the time of its very short release.  Calendar cover. I have scanned and uploaded the entire calendar to the following location on Wild About Cars. Thirty-one years have passed. Times have changed. Mores have evolved with the advent of cable TV and the internet. Check it out and determine for yourself if it deserved to be banned. The calendar is fairly large at 18 x 24 hanging open, so to speak. Download it free of charge at the following link– http://wildaboutcarsonline.com/cgi-b...aldisplayed=50 |

I was curious too but couldn't find much. She appeared in a 1st season episode of Knight Rider, bit part as a model. You can watch it on HULU, episode is The Topaz Connection.
She was 25 in 1982, makes her 56 or 57 today. HPP ran a story on her in Feb '84 issue. A blurb in the '90s supposedly reported that she was married with kids, long out of modeling. An IMDb bio suggests more recent film credits (production role) but that is another Natalie Carroll. I'd guess she looks like an average mid 50s aged woman today. Probably better to remember her by the calendar and ad shots.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
