1968 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S

History

The Plymouth Barracuda is a two-door car that was manufactured by the Plymouth division of the Chrysler Corporation from 1964 to 1974.

The first-generation Barracuda. a fastback A-body coupe based on the Plymouth Valiant. had distinctive wraparound back glass and was available from 1964 to 1966. The second-generation 1967 to 1969 Barracuda. though still Valiant-based. was heavily redesigned. Second-generation A-body cars were available in fastback. notchback. and convertible versions.

The new Barracuda was less rectilinear than the Valiant. with Coke-bottle side contours and heavily revised front and rear end styling.

Design cues included a concave rear deck panel. wider wheel openings. curved side glass. and S-curved roof pillars on the notchback. The rear portion of the roof on the fastback coupe was more streamlined. and the back glass. raked at a substantially horizontal angle. was much smaller compared with that of the previous model. Also. the use of chrome trim on the external sheet metal was more restrained.
