1975 Plymouth Barracuda Concept Car

Prev Next
This clay, on display in the Plymouth styling studio on May 2, 1969, combines elements from both the Matsurra and Herlitz/Sampson proposals. The quarters are not as high as before, with a strong character line along the mid flanks. The wheel openings are tall and round, and there is the hint of a quarter window on the driver-side profile. The front fender air extractors are trimmed in black, reading "CUDA" on the upper and "440" on the lower. Sharp-eyed Mopar fans will notice the two-piece W23 lightweight road wheels, which were recalled in 1969 for cracking almost before they were released.
