I’ve recently posted photos of some outstanding vintage cars just out here in Southwest Florida. Today, Friday, July 1, 2022, I got this shot of a black Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. Although not in the “vintage” class of the first Thunderbird I photographed or the T-Bird and Ford Model A that I shot last weekend, this Trans Am makes you believe in a glance that “The Bandit” is still out on the highway. Burt Reynolds’ iconic movie “Smokey and the Bandit” made the Trans Am itself iconic and boosted sales, even in re-runs on television. I got this shot as I drove home here in Naples and was stopped at a red light.
