LEGACY CRUISE to Kirkwood, Missouri
LEGACY CRUISE: This was one of the ideas that inspired us to start the FirebirdFest! We thought "wouldn't it be cool" if everyone could see a lineup of every production year of Firebird in a variety of colors and cruising in order! 36 cars will be chosen (one from each year) to lead all other birds in a "Legacy Cruise" in order of production year, and will receive a special certificate for this honor! We need your help to get at least 1 car to represent every year from 1967-2002!
