Beautiful original Chrysler piece was part of the Historical Art Print series produced by Chrysler Marketing in the early 1990's, and distributed to dealers through the Mopar Parts Division.  Each lithograph was created from original signed hand-painted airbrushed artwork, illustrated with gouache paint. Film positive negatives were used for the plates, and a varnish was applied over the printed areas.  Artists featured were Kevin Yeszin, Paul LaMontagne, and Mike Maher. We obtained these lithographs direct from one of the artists.

Lithograph measures a large 11 X 14", produced on heavy weight art paper. In perfect MINT condition, just the way it was made decades ago.  This is a standard frame size, and this would look fabulous framed!

For 1966, the Barracuda received new taillights, new front sheet metal, and a new dashboard. The latter had room for oil pressure and tachometer gauges on models so equipped. The 1966 front sheet metal, which except for the grille was shared with the Valiant, gave a more rectilinear contour to the fenders. Deluxe models featured fender-top turn signal indicators with a stylized fin motif. The bumpers were larger, and the grille featured a strong grid theme. A center console was optional for the first time.

Although the first Barracudas were heavily based on the contemporary Valiants, Plymouth wanted them perceived as distinct models. Consequently, the "Valiant" chrome script that appeared on the 1964 model's trunk lid was phased out on the 1965 model in the US market. For 1966, a Barracuda-specific stylized fish logo was introduced, though in markets such as Canada and South Africa, where Valiant was a marque in its own right, the car remained badged as Valiant Barracuda until the A-body Barracuda was discontinued.
