firebirds had the top style standard, and the bottom one a option till i think around 1990. After that, the birds really did away with the top style alltogether. The wrap around armrest was still a option, the the updated trim around the handle was standard.

Its not specifically a GTA thing. Trans Am's had the option to have it also.

Custom vs standard interior, probably.
