The 1966 Plymouth Valiant lineup represented a significant step forward for the compact car division of Chrysler Corporation. While the Valiant nameplate had debuted in 1960, the 1966 model year saw a major redesign that introduced a more angular, sporty aesthetic, influenced by the design language of the larger Plymouth Belvedere. In addition to the base Valiant, the 1966 model year saw the introduction of new trim levels for the compact offering, including the V-100 and V-200, signifying increased performance and luxury, respectively. The Valiant Signet presented a sleek, sporty coupe option built on the Valiant platform, while the Barracuda, launched as a performance-oriented model, became a true icon in the muscle car scene.

The introduction of the 1966 Plymouth Barracuda, specifically, was a game-changer. It was the first pony car produced by a major American automaker, predating the Ford Mustang by several months. The Barracuda, available in both hardtop and convertible body styles, offered customers a spirited driving experience with its powerful V8 engine options, including the legendary 273 cubic inch "Commando" V8. Alongside its sporty performance, the Barracuda also distinguished itself with its unique design, featuring a distinctive fastback profile that became a defining characteristic of the pony car era. This combination of performance and style made the 1966 Barracuda a hit among enthusiasts and solidified Plymouth's position in the burgeoning muscle car segment. While the 1966 Plymouth Valiant line included a range of models catering to different needs and preferences, the introduction of the Barracuda marked a pivotal moment for Plymouth and the entire automotive industry, kickstarting a new era of high-performance compact cars.
