I found this one stuck back in a corner among my "forgotten items." (That number seems to increase with my age!)  This one has no manufacturer's name. Printed under the canopy's side is FIREBIRD I by General Motors, an experimental vehicle termed the XP-21 of 1953. (Found that through Google!)
The only similar model I can find is by a company named "Bizarre." If so, I wonder how it came to my shelves. Oh well, it's kind of unusual. Does anyone have information on this one?

Great back-of-the-cabinet find!!!  The GADM does not have a silver antenna or colored wheel centers, so this must be the Bizarre one!
Bizzarre is a sub-brand of Spark... for show cars, ONE-OFFS, BIZARRE CARS! 🤔Â

Harvey and Randy(?) and I saw the real one in the museum:

Bizarre made all three Firebirds!
Besides the museum where Karl and I saw Firebird I (aka Firebird XP21), it also showed up at the Chattanooga Motorcar Festival last October.
I wonder what the red light at the back of the cockpit is for?
