How do we know this is an Esprit model?

I didn't add/identify this particular car, but my guess is that lack of scoop/intake on the hood indicates it's an Esprit.

The base Firebird also lacked hood scoops. In addition what identifies this as a 1973 model versus a 1970-72?

As I mentioned, I didn't add this car. It was added by MaindrianPace in the forums. He would have to explain how he determined it is a 1973 Pontiac Firebird Esprit.

If you go to the page in the first comment, you can see a high resolution vid/screen-cap. You can look and see if you think the grille is egg crate or honeycomb. Maybe he thought it looked like egg crate.

You can watch the episode here:

Maybe you can see why he thought it's a 1973 Pontiac Firebird Esprit.
