Description
The ultimate fastback evolution of Plymouth’s original pony car has cleared the staging lanes to claim its spot on your coffee break!
Three Years of Pure, Fast-Fish A-Body Evolution
Once you look inside, what more can you say? Wow! Wrapped edge-to-edge around the 67 68 69 Barracuda 3 Magazine Ad Coffee Mug is a masterful vintage archive featuring three authentic, high-impact print ads that document the rapid transformation of the classic A-body Barracuda platform.
Instead of focusing on just a single model year, this hard-hitting collector’s design bridges the peak years of Plymouth’s pony car development, breaking down three iconic showroom campaigns:
- The 1967 Launch Layout: Celebrating the complete second-generation redesign that completely separated the Barracuda from its early Valiant economy roots, introducing the gorgeous, sweeping fastback silhouette and refined curves that officially captured the jet-age optimism of the late ’60s street scene.
- The 1968 “Shortcut” Campaign by Paul Williams: Spotlighting the brilliant, highly stylized “Shortcut” advertisement illustrated by Young & Rubicam’s master counterculture artist Paul Williams. This ad famously showcased a bold Barracuda rocketing away from the ordinary competition—blending comic-style speed lines, high-contrast framing, and sharp pop-art typography to capture the youth culture boom of the late ’60s.
- The 1969 Hardcore ‘Cuda Introduction: Honoring the birth of the legendary, stripped-down “‘Cuda” performance package group, complete with non-functional twin hood scoops, blacked-out trim, and a deep-dive look at the high-revving, giant-killing 340 V8 small-block alongside the brutal, torque-heavy 383 Super Commando V8 big-block.
