  1. Growing up in the 60's, I don't recall seeing many Valiant wagons; maybe the Dodge variant, was the Dart??

    1. The one in the photo is Australian and they did have Dodge Dart pedigree at some point.

  2. In my country they were branded as Chrysler Valiant, obviously Chrysler being the parent company of Plymouth.

  7. That slant six motor had a manifold you could wrap several burritos in foil,
    drive a certain time (on a trip). Stop, get out pop the hood and have a hot meal.
    Cheaply for back then. It was also very dependable.
