This poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a New York Hospital It was sent by a medical doctor - Make sure to read what is in the closing statement AFTER THE POEM.SLOW DANCEHave you ever watched kids On a merry-go-round? Or listened to the rain Slapping on the ground? Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight? Or gazed at the sun into the fad ing ni ght? You better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. Do you run through each day On the fly? When you ask How are you? Do you hear the reply? When the day is done Do you lie in your bed With the next hundred chores Running through your head? You'd better slow down Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last Ever told your child, We'll do it tomorrow? And in your haste, Not see his sorrow? Ever lost touch, Let a good friendship die Cause you never had time To call and say,"Hi" You'd better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. When you run so fast to get somewhere You miss half the fun of getting there. When you worry and hurry through your day, It is like an unopened gift.... Thrown away. Life is not a race. Do take it slower Hear the music Before the song is over.
Some new friends.
Early Barracuda HistoryAs early as 1962, Plymouth had plans to build a sporty fastback version of their new Valiant line, which was introduced in 1960. But the project was passed over until a young designer named Milt Antonick, fresh from Studebacker (and a member of the Avanti design team under Raymond Loewy,) joined Plymouth in 1963. He picked up where the original plans left off, and basing his new design closely on the Valiant body, he arrived at the "Barracuda" in time for May 1964 release. A common misconception is that the Barracuda was a hasty response to Ford’s Mustang, but this is not the case. The fish's original lack of identity was due more to a clumsy marketing effort than any mechanical or physical shortcomings. Plymouth's advertising had attempted too broad of a definition for the car: that of a sporty fastback for young men, but one that was also suitable for mom to go get groceries in - one of the first attempts at sport/ultilitarian appeal (had a little ahead of it's time.) In fact, the public didn't really begin to perceive the Barracuda as an actual Muscle-Car until around 1966. During this first half year of production, the Barracuda was available with the new 273ci v8, or the durable 225ci slant six. Base engine for this year only was the 170ci six, but not many were ordered, so from 1965 on, the base engine was the 225. Sales were reasonable and only mild changes were made for the 1965 line-up. The Valiant tags were removed, although the car was still technically a "Valiant Barracuda." A new Formula S option was available, in order to make the car a little stronger on the performance side. By now, Plymouth was aware that they needed to market this car as a performance machine, if there were to be any hopes of competing against Mustang. This campaign was pretty successful, and the Barracuda sold more units during this year than any other. For 1966, Plymouth, like most of it’s competitors, changed very little in their compact car design. The Barracuda got the Valiant’s Big Bumper, but also received a new grille with large egg-crate sections that made it distinct from the Valiant. Also, the Barracuda got special fish emblems that would be used until the car shifted up to E-body in 1970. The Barracuda was no longer a Valiant model during the 1966 year, and the revamped option packages were more formidable than necessary. The 1966 Barracuda Formula S could outperform any standard production Mustang regularly, yet sales figures dropped significantly. Plymouth also allowed for a limited number of 426 hemi cars to be produced, but was strict in selling these vehicles, which were only made available to racing organizations.Thus it was clear to the designers at Plymouth that what the Barracuda needed was a fresh start, free from the mundane Valiant completely. This was done in 1967, and the new A-body design lasted until 1970, when the Barracuda become an E-unit-body car. The jump to E-body was predictable, as the Barracuda had started to get bigger block engines, and the A-body was no longer feasible. With beefed up horsepower the Barracuda, ‘Cuda, died with most of the other muscle cars in 1974, with the oil crisis and high Gas rates in effect.
