i have noticed that most trans ams i see dont have a plastic insert bird emblem between the taillights, instead it is drawn on, and i noticed that most if not all gtas have the separate plastic insert. is this true? im talking 85 to 89 tas.

 

The GTAs had a plastic gold bird emblem, on my 85 TA it has a plastic orange emblem and the TTA the bird was plastic white emblem. I believe all TAs had an emblem, I've never seen one painted on.

some of the regular firebirds and formulas that I have seen have a screen printing or sticker on the center pannel that just has a bird,and it is not a raised embilem like the tas,tta and the gtas.
