PTs were definitely hot rod boats of the day. And made of wood, too, as I recall. Better than a Chris Craft, it was fast AND could blow your ass up. Gary

Not a Firebird proto. Was a 2 seater Pontiac wanted to build. GM brass would not let them thinking it may hurt Corvette sales and turned it down though DeLorean tried hard to get it apprived. This was around '63. Note the VERY strong resemblence to the '68 and newer Corvette. 2 were made and one recently was on Ebay.
