"Baccaruda" Barracuda Radio Ad

The only known image of the "Bradshaws Baccaruda "  Barracuda.

This is the catchy 1965 radio advertisement  that spawned the name "Bradshaws Baccaruda". The clip is from a

recording out of Seattle, Washington.

The "Plymouth Dealer" voiced in this ad appears to be Jim Runyon a "radio announcer, disc jockey, and sometime actor" from the 50's and 60's. Among his many voice over performances was that of  "Narrator" along with several other characters and criminals in a highly popular 2 minute long nationally broadcast daily radio series carried on KXOK, called "Chickenman" . Each days segment was rebroadcast several times throughout the day, "so you can't miss it". (Jim Runyon's wife, Jane Roberts performed all of the female roles in the series.)
