Blue Note Plymouth Barracuda Car Pics

I’ve always thought that a ’Cuda was just about the sharpest-looking car ever built anyway.

Would give my left nut for one of these bad boys. Nice find, Spec.

I’m guessing coach Scotty Bowman, Jacques Plante, Ernie Wakely, Barclay and Bob Plager, Frank St. Marseille, Red Berenson, and Phil Goyette.

iv ever seen

They were not using that logo until the 80’s. You would think a restorer would get the period bluenote. Sends the whole story into doubt. – But it would still be a sweet consolation prize.

And then I would have gone forth and blown the doors off of other cars on the street.

At a car show in Fenton…Question is which car is more accurate? I might have more photos at home of it, have to check.

I saw this in Bobby’s book Tales from the Blues Bench

A friend of mine and I both swear we saw an original photo somewhere but can’t remember where. I looked in Note by Note and didn’t see one. Maybe it was in the True Blues video? Have to check into that.

Key Player

The third year of the Blues, the 1969-1970 season, our owners the Salomons worked something out with a car dealer. Every player received a Barracuda to drive that season. The cars had a white bottom, blue top and the Bluenote on the door. All the same.

If we were going to Pat’s Bar and Grill after practice, it’d be 20 cars there. Remember, we went everywhere as a team. We’d sign autographs and eat and do it all together.

One time, we were having a party at a place on Manchester Road, which is gone now. There was a Blues car there so I pulled in beside it. Somebody pulled next to me. Somebody else pulled next to him. And we filled up the lot. You never know your license plate number, of course, and all the cars looked alike.

Scotty was there that night. And the next day at practice, he said: “I don’t like these cars. You guys are so stupid, each one of you has to go down the line with his key, trying to find which car is his.”

Then Scotty said, “Oh excuse me fellas. I’m wrong. We’ve got one person who has no problem.”
Everyone was waiting for the name.
Scotty said, “Bob Plager.”
I was thinking, “Good! It’s something good for a change from Scotty.”
He said, “Bob Plager never has a problem finding his car. And the reason is, it’s the only one left on the lot.”

about the car I took photos of, unfortunately I couldn’t find the owner at the time. Hopefully I will see it down there again. The first Friday of every month there is a show at a church down before the Meramec River off of Gravois Road with hundreds of cars. I bet he will show again.
