Default 69 pontiac rear spoiler optional?

I was watching a rerun of a 1970's sitcom with the family earlier and a partial of a 1969 firebird was in the view with a rear spoiler that I thought was only available on the trans ams. This is a green convertible car with 400 emblem on trunk lid. I will attach a capture of it. Just hoping to learn something new.

I don't believe that is factory, especially considering it has a rear antennae.

Even more odd though: spoiler looks to be molded to the deck lid and the quarter. Didn't notice that at first. Never seen one like it.

There are some hardcore Pontiac guys on this site; one of them will know. If all else fails, join the Performance Years website. For sure, someone there will know.

That green firebird was from the TV show I Dream Of Jeannie. It was made by George Barris

A rear spoiler was not an option on any 1967-1969 Firebird.

The 1969 Trans Am rear spoiler was standard equipment.

The green car in "I Dream Of Jeannie" was a customized 1969 Firebird 400, not a Trans Am. The car was the creation of customizer George Barris and had no association with the Pontiac Motor Division.
