KT thanks for the photos of all the cars you share. They bring back so many memories.
Another nice one. If memory serves, they only had those big rear windows a year or 2.

Were the wheels and tires actually that small in those days? Nice photo, KT, as usual.

Thanks for that shot.
That color must have been a extremely popular color back in "65.
My neighbor had the exact same color of that vehicle.
(Needless to say, I was envious of their 'ride'!

That 'cuda always reminded me of our 1960 Valiant that my Dad bought new and gave to me as a teen in '71. It was a POS by then, but it had wheels and went "go."
My Mother had a ‘69 hatchback in bright yellow. I was a freshman in college and she let me borrow it over spring break. A friend left cans of beer in the center compartment. She was cool- sent me a thank you note. LOL!
Your photo reminds me of a time when I wa in my early 20’s. I went to a Drag race. The promoters brought in several exhibition cars, one of which was a car like your photos. It was referred to as the Hemi Under Glass or the Baccaruda. It had a Hemi motor behind the front seats sitting under the “glass”. The driver could take all four wheels off the ground using castor type shells on hi bumper
the first 2 years of the barracudas were actually valiants,after that they were their own brands.i had a 64 valiant for 30 years from the front it looked exactly like a barracuda. very dependable cars
