I found this one today stuck back in a forgotten corner. It's light, non-rolling wheels, no working parts, but nicely detailed. I have found that BIZARRE made a 1/43 GM Firebird I at some time in the past. But somehow this one doesn't seem to have the heft, detailing, and just plain "feel" of a BIZARRE. I'm sure I have the packaging stuck back somewhere, but I thought it might be more fun to ask here. (Besides, I spent the afternoon pushing leaves around and I'm tired.)

TSM made a large 1/18 scale. https://www.hobbydb.com/marketplaces/hobbydb/catalog_items/1953-gm-firebird-1
But this seems to be 1/43?

When I was a small kid circa 1955 or so, I got a GM Firebird type car from Ideal Toys for Christmas, I think. It may have had a launcher and/or been friction powered. The 3 wheeled jet-like car I think is shown in one of our old home movies.

David I have this same model but it is in its display case and under several more models on top of it. I too pushed around leaves all day and am too tired to move all of these to see who made it. If no one else answers your inquiry I'll try tomorrow find the answer.
