The "sad mouth" nickname bothers you? Do you own one of those cars?
It is an accurate description though. The styling of the Challengers took a hit with the 72 and later models while the Barracuda maintained a high mark from 70-74.
Yes I own one, and I'm damn proud of it. FE5 Red, bought it in Dec. 1973 when it was 6 mos. old. 48 years of ownership and counting.
I prefer to think of the grill shape as a mean scowl. Better than a bunch of the new cars smiling at me. The 57 Chrysler 300C and the 68 Shelby Mustangs have an almost identical grill opening,
and I see nothing but praise for the looks of those cars.
