In the year of déjà vu, the only completely redesigned full-sized car is the Lincoln, which, among other things, now has a body bolted to the frame for a quieter ride. Several cars have more powerful engines; the biggest of all is the Cadillac Eldorado's, at 500 cu. in. The Plymouth Barracuda is one of the few cars that have had enough sheet-metal changes to give...
