Plymouth 'Cuda


'Cuda, Roadrunner, and Superbird.... you will be forever missed (by auto enthusiasts anyway). Plymouth was an auto manufacturer that was a division of Mopar, and had some of the nicest looking muscle cars, well to me anyway. Plymouth had three main models that were ll produced around the same time, but one that really stands out to me is the almighty Plymouth Barracuda. The Barracuda (also known as just the 'Cuda) was a beautiful car that I mix up with the Dodge Challenger at first glance. Don't judge me, they look alike. Although my brother begs to differ. I think the body styles look almost identical. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. The 'Cuda had its glory days in the early '70s with the '70-'71 'Cuda. It became even more popular with the infamous 426 HEMI as the powerplant in the upper edition.

As long as I live I will always remember the 'Cuda, even though I was born in the '90s I still know what the 'Cuda is. Plymouth may no longer be producing cars, but with the way many auto manufacturers are bringing back cars, with some whose names have not been on the production line since the '60s or '70s, with the retro styling of their older ancestors for one last go around. I believe that Plymouth could come back to life if a new model of the 'Cuda were to come out today. As of now the 'Cuda may be dead, but the concept art is certainly alive. I only have a few last words for this post..... BRING BACK THE 'CUDA!! That is all.

  1. I don't think I've seen this car before but I like it, some of it might be because green is my favorite color but I do like the design of it. I think it would be interesting to see what it would look like if they redid it today, I'm sure it would look good.
