1961 Plymouth Asimmetrica Ghina Concept Car -www.robson.m3rlin.org
Designed by Chrysler Corporation, built by Ghia of Italy. This is the only one ever made to this design. It was fully restored in the early 1990’s and has been displayed in a California Museum since then. Red exterior with red engine. Tan interior, trunk and Convertible top.
An unusual Plymouth was the Asimmetrica. Virgil Exner, who was Chrysler’s head designer, got Ghia to build the XNR concept car in 1959. Two years later the car was produced in small volume. One was sold to the famours Maigret author, Georges Simenon.
The car was known as Assimmetrica because nothing about the car was symmetrical.

1972 Plymouth Barracuda - www.robson.m3rlin.org
The Plymouth Barracuda is a 2-door car that was manufactured by the Plymouth division of the Chrysler Corporation from 1964 through 1974.
The first-generation Barracuda, a fastback A-body coupé based on the Plymouth Valiant, had a distinctive wraparound back glass and was available from 1964 to 1966.
The second-generation 1967 – 1969 Barracuda, though still Valiant-based, was heavily redesigned. Second-generation A-body cars were available in fastback, notchback, and convertible versions.
The 1970 – 1974 E-body Barracuda, no longer Valiant-based, was available as a coupé and a convertible, both of which were very different from the previous models. Click here to read more.. »
