One of the most popular classic vehicle in the auto industry is the Plymouth Barracuda which has been popularized as the ‘Cuda back in the year1970. And it surely is going to be interesting looking back at what part this vehicle has played in the goings on of the industry.

Production of the vehicle started back in 1964. This vehicle only lived a decade but it sure has gained just the right amount of fame and name to be always remembered in the history of the industry. Coming not with sharks’ fins or with sharp pointed teeth, the ‘Cuda came with the normal share of auto body parts and the whole lot. And it came as a vehicle that held two doors and was an entrant to the compact and midsized car segment.

The very first Plymouth Barracuda was unveiled using an A-body chassis. During that time, such a design has been in use in other vehicles created by Chrysler. And when it came to the market, those who were very much into sporty cars were attracted to the ‘Cuda.

Another thing that made this vehicle quite famous was the engine that it used – the 440-6 and the 426 Hemi engines. In fact, because of such, the Plymouth Barracuda became quite a legend in itself. During its glory days, the ‘Cuda was the speediest and the fastest. Plus, it came with really unique color choices so much so that everything would seem like a blur with this vehicle. Imagine color choices like “Vitamin C”, “Moulin Rouge” and “In-Violet”.

But still, if this vehicle has continued production up until the present, it sure would still be able to top other vehicles and surpass the expectations of various car aficionados.

The first automobile to come equipped with anti-lock brakes was the 1966 Jensen FF. It used the the Dunlop Maxaret anti-lock braking system, which was originally developed for aircrafts. By today’s standards, The anti-skid system of the Jensen FF may be considered crude and unreliable, it was a then astounding technological breakthrough. The Lincoln Continental Mark III improved on the original concept three years later in 1969. He placed the sensors on the rear wheels and successfully regulated the pressure on the rear brakes when they start locking up.

Produced by the British manufacturer Jensen between 1966 and 1971, The Jensen FF was an all-wheel drive GT car. The Jensen FF was a very influencial vehicle in technical aspects, but it failed to click with the masses and did not achieve commercial success. FF stands for Ferguson Formula, Ferguson was the inventor of the all wheel drive system, which was the first on a production sports car.

The "Model-T", or colloquially known as Tin Lizzie and the Flivver, was the first car to be mass-produced. The first assembly ine was launched in 1908 by Henry Ford’s Ford Motor Company. He was able to manufacture the Model-T for mass consumption, and he offered it to customers at a much affordable price compared to the rival: therefore regaled as the first affordable automobile and dubbed as the car which "put America on wheels". The success was largely attributed to a few of Ford’s innovations, some of which are the substitution of individual hand crafting for assembly line production, and paying the workers a wage proportionate to the cost of the car. By 1913, Ford was producing half of all cars sold in the United States. And come 1927, he had sold over 15 million units of Model-Ts.

The first production Model T was built in Detroit, Michigan on September 27, 1908, at the Piquette Plant.

Plymouth fanatics insist that the Baracuda beat the Ford Mustang by about a couple of weeks, the Mustang is widely considered the first "pony car" in automotive history. Pony cars are a class of automobiles first launched in 1964 inspired by larger muscle cars, but engineered to be more compact and affordable.

The Ford Mustang paved the golden way of pony cars–they caught the attention of the consumers and delivered the pony car trend to its success. It was first introduced publicly on the 17th of April in 1964, at the New York World’s Fair. Percieved to be the most successful model ever launched in automobile history, the Ford Mustang gleaned over 22,000 sales on its first day alone and raked over a million sales in its first two years. TheMustang set a trend and inspired a lot of imitators, some of which include: Pontiac Firebird, Mercury Cougar and Chevrolet Camaro. But success was sweetly enjoyed by the Mustang alone.

Motorcycles are descendants of the safety bikes–bikes that has equal-sized front and back wheels and utilizes a pedal crank mechanism to spin the back wheel. The earliest known motorcycle was invented by one Gottlieb Daimler in 1885. It has one wheel in the front and another one at the rear. Funnily enough, just like a kid’s training bike, it has a couple of smaller, spring-loaded outrigger wheel on each side.

This motorcycle was made almost entirely out of wood. It was dubbed to be a "bone-crusher" chassis, and the wheels are of the wooden-spoked, iron-branded type.

This wooden motorcycle was powered by a unicylinder Otto-cycle engine. It may have had a spray-type carburetor since Daimler’s assistant, Wilhelm Maybach, was working on the invention of the spray carburetor during that time.
