1964 GM Firebird IV

1964/65 Futurama

The experimental small commuter car Runabout was unveiled at GM's Futurama at the New York World's Fair in 1964. A three-wheel hatchback, Runabout carried two passengers and had ample storage room. Also on display at Futurama was the Firebird IV, another sleek, turbine-powered car with strong aircraft styling cues. The GM-X Stiletto was an advanced, high-performance car with styling strongly influenced by aerospace design. It featured aircraft-type steering, a maintenance monitoring system with toggle switch controls, and a three-way speaker system for inside/ outside communications. It also debuted at the 1964 New York World's Fair.

Что интересно спустя 5 лет GM вновь показали концепт Firebird IV под именем Buick Century Cruiser, а GM-X Stiletto с переделанной носовой частью, в том же 1969 году, экспонировался на автосалонах, теперь уже как Pontiac Cirrus
