  3. Well, Lloyd, I dunno about Anonymous Mike, but I tried the link he provided and this is what it says:
    "The first-generation Barracuda, a fastback A-body coupe based on the Plymouth Valiant, had a distinctive wraparound back glass and was available from 1964-1966."
    I distinctly remember a friend having a Barracuda in 1964.

  4. Kay is right, the Barracuda was based on the Valiant frame and front end looked the same… They were cool cars , alot better looking IMHO than the AMC Marlin..

  8. A thatched roof on a trailer is an odd match. But it looks great. Thatched roofs are often seen on Tiki bars, and who would have thought they'll look great on a trailer? This will surely make a great cottage in those resorts in Micronesia!
