Modern Retro Mr. Norm’s 50th Anniversary 2020 Plymouth Hemi Cuda on My Car Story with Lou Costabile

[@cheekydemon6131]

'Cuda this be any better!? Only if Plymouth came back to build cool cars again... Anyway I am really surprised how well it all fits together - the gills, the grill, the tail lights, the rally wheels, the window louvers, the doors with the 'cuda emblems and they even have the tiny pentastar behind the front wheel. The wooden pistol grip just begs for some action!! Many car makers try to "ride on the retro wave", but it doesn't always work, but here it does and a lot. Mr. Norm passed away on 26th of February like my grandpa, just 3 years later, so not my lucky day, but life goes on and exceptional cars like this 50th Anniversary GSS hemicuda put a smile back on my face. A huge applause for bringin' back the badass fish!! I am sure that I am not the only one, who would love to see more old and new cudas on the streets :) This is just super!!

Hi Cheeky Demon, High praise :-) My pleasure sharing this one with you, and glad to read the details of this car you enjoy, Lou

[@louiskats5116]

Goodday Lou, This is the modern muscle car I want. What a beautiful tribute to the Hemi Cuda. I have been in contact with Norm Junior lately I organised the latest tribute stickers to the late & great Mr Norm. I think I am the first in Australia to have them mailed to me, sharing them amongst my Mopar Friends. Actually spoke to Norm Junior last night. So desperately need to get to the USA to meet all these wonderful people including you Lou. Great video as per usual. Your number 1 Fan in Australia Louis Kats from Melbourne Australia ☺ 👍 ❤

[@loucostabile]

Goodday Louis, Happy to read you're enjoying this 2020 Hemi Cuda. Glad to read you're enjoying the hobby and the people in it with me :-) Thank you for being my # 1 Fan in Australia, Lou

[@Funsho97]

This car, THIS car!!!! Oh man all the nods to the 1971 'Cuda really are the icing on the cake for this one!!! Such a great car. I absolutely loved the warning badge at the shifter and that shifter is such an icon. They really pulled out all the stops when they built this special ride. Mr. Norm is smiling down for sure saying "Give it a GOOD Rev"!!! 👍👍👍

[@loucostabile]

Hi Hobiemarty, High praise :-) Happy to read you enjoy this one, Lou

[@dalecain1158]

What a car! Sure hope they bring back the Cuda.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Dale, Happy to read "What a car!" :-) Would be a fun idea to bring it back, Lou

[@RustyCar]

This is one beautiful MOPAR! Words probably can’t say enough, but I am loving all the tributes to the ‘old school’ Cuda. Seriously, what is not to love or respect about this car? Thanks Lou & Larry for sharing with all of us!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Rusty, Happy to read you enjoy this car :-) My pleasure sharing this one with you, and you're welcome, Lou

I'm sure Mr. Norm would be happy and proud of having his name on the 2020 Hemingway 'Cuda tribute car as it looks fantastic! As always is the case, thanks Lou for posting yet another excellent Mopar vehicle from you on KZbin!

[@loucostabile]

Hi JackFlemingFan, Happy to read you think Mr. Norm would be happy with this car :-) Appreciate the kind words on posting this video, thank you, and you're welcome, Lou

Hi Sparky the Detroit Doggo, Happy to read you enjoy this car :-) You're welcome, Lou

[@2W3X4YZ5]

I really want to hear Larry say, “Nine Times” for a Ferris Buhler throwback. I like the car a lot. I was a Plymouth tech at the time of their demise. On one hand, it’s a fantastic tribute, and on the other, it feels like a reminder of what we lost. Thanks for another great video.

[@loucostabile]

Hi 2W3X4YZ5, Happy to read you "like this car a lot" :-) I think it was Dr. Seuss who said "Don't be sad it's over. Be glad it happened." That helps me and I hope it helps you too. Appreciate the kind words on this video, Lou

[@kevinsnyder4425]

Nice Mopar! I'd try one out "just for giggles " ! I didn't realise Mr. Norm passed... what a guy ! I remember the ads from WLS radio for Grand Spalding Dodge ! Covid - I hate it, Lou . I had it last month, and was in the hospital for a week. ! Almost died.! But I'm better now, and rejoicing ! Heaven is looking sweeter all the time, because I know where I'm going !!! Thanks Lou ,and thanks to Larry also.!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Kevin, Happy to read you're healthy now, and glad you know where the final destination is :-) While we're both still here, glad you're along for the ride. You're welcome, Lou

What a great tribute to the Mr. Norm classic of 1971. It's great that Mr. Norm was able to autograph it. Great attention to detail and effort was put into this "Hemi 'Cuda". Thanks Lou!

Beautiful! It would be great if someone could develop period correct front and rear bumpers. Of course they are ornamental, but it would go a long way to completing the look of a 70's Challenger or Cuda.

No matter how impressive it is, it's still a pig with lipstick. Mopar needs to revamp the '67 - '69 body style Cuda as their new muscle car of the future. It needs to be lighter and sleeker like Ford did with the Mustang!
