"The Firebird III, an experimental automobile with a sleek profile, is the brightest star in General Motors' exhibitional gallery. Propelled by a gasoline turbine engine, the Firebird III is an appropriate symbol of travel in Century 21. There is no steering wheel in the Firebird III. A control stick extending a few inches above the center armrest provides steering when moved to left or right. Forward motion is obtained by pushing the stick ahead and braking is accomplished by pulling the lever back." (Century 21 Exposition. (1962). Official Guide Book, Seattle World's Fair 1962. Seattle: Acme Publications. p. 36)
