What keychain do you have for your E-body?
« on: December 27, 2012 - 07:59:55 PM »
Now that mine is back on the road, I should probably get something other than a simple paper tag. Not exactly sure what I want but it should be interesting, cool, and appropriate.

What does everyone else have?

Mine is a heavy metal one that originally was silver but now has a copper patina.  The backside says, "Plymouth 'Cuda First Year of Production 1970".  That is probably because 1970 was the first year of the new body style.  I believe 1969 was the actual first year that the shortened name of 'Cuda was used.

Correct. Story goes I read:

Chrysler engineers had a 440 A body Barracuda in either 68' or 69' on Woodward Ave testing it on the streets. The crowd back then on the street that talked about it named it Cuda. Thus the name was born and brought back to marketing.

Some are pretty cool.

All I have is the electronic key fob for my door poppers, a tool to pull my emergency door cable, and a house key.

I had an oval metal tad that said PLymouth but I lost it.  :banghead:  Someone said it`s not a good idea to have the name on the keychain as it makes it easier for to figure out which vehicle they go to in case you lose them or attempted theft.  :dunno:
