In the 1970's General Motors was trying to get the freight cost down on Vegas to keep them a budget friendly car.At the time,a new Vega had a price tag around $2,000.Engineers from GM and Southern Pacific Railroad came up with the Vert-A-Pac.This allowed 30 cars to be shipped per boxcar instead of 18. Lowering freight costs by up to 40%.GM engineers also designed specific oil baffles to keep oil from spilling along with specially designed carburetors,batteries and added plastic spacers between the powertrain and the chassis to prevent damage.

I read that it was also to cut down on vandalism and parts theft while the cars were sitting in the rail yard.

This picture would have been in the spring of 1969 as there are two A12 Roadrunners sitting in front of the showroom.The blue Cuda is probably a 440 M-Code car which was also a "limited edition" release in the spring of 69 along with the A12 Roadrunners and Superbees.This dealer must have sold a lot of Hi-performance mopars,because most Plymouth dealers only got one A12 Roadrunner.

More from Cooks Chrysler-Plymouth Motor Sales,Chicopee, MA. on that same day.
