Generally speaking, are A-Bodies "dorky?"

The 1967,68 & 69 Barracuda was the closest thing to the Camero & Mustang at the time.
The styling was right there with the 1967 Camero.
That was until the 1970 Challenger & Barracuda came out, of course that only lasted until 1974.
It would have been nice if the Barracuda had been left an A-body (small block only) & the Challenger (opt. big block) would have been a Dodge only product.
They could have been automobiles for two different types of customers.
Although, it might have been embarrasing for the 1970 A-body Barracuda to run circles around the 1970 Challenger in Trans-Am.
So yes, when you look at the Valiants, Darts, & Dusters, on average they look like a grand ma car, but I would take one any day.
