Harold Holt is a Pacific man. Indeed, his favorite pastime is diving under the Pacific with snorkel and wet suit to spear fish or enjoy the submarine scenery. Often enough, that scenery includes one or another of his sheilas-in-law-the beautiful wives of his three stepsons.

The Barracuda, which began in 1964 as a jerry-built fastback body mounted on an old-fashioned Valiant chassis, up to now has been a pretty tame fish in a very turbulent pond. The completely new Barracuda, whose prices will start at approximately $2,500, comes out just in time to catch the hottest new car market since compacts first made their appearance. The demand for "specialty" cars, with their bucket seats and 150-m.p.h. speedometers, has increased...
