American Motors did away with it in one 1965-66 model - only to get a flock of gripes. But the industry has not yet given up the fight on the fifth wheel. Later this month, Pontiac showrooms will have the sporty new Firebird, which has the same body shell as its G.M. cousin, the Chevrolet Camaro, but is four inches longer.
