Re: [Chrysler300] Valiant Effort

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

The Dodge version of the Valiant was called the Lancer in 1961 and  62.  
The "A" body Dart was introduced in 1963 along with the 2nd generation  
Valiant.   ---Gil C.

OK,  don't flame me.  Further research on my part indicates the 1960  
Valiant
may have been otherwise unbranded as it was to be sold by both  Plymouth and
Dodge dealers.  In 1961, the Dodge version had a separate  brand and was
called a Dart.  So perhaps it is correct to call the  1960 a Chrysler
Valiant???  I'll remain silent to the webmaster on the  subject.

My first new car was a red, 1961 Valiant 2-dr HT with a floor  stick and the
225 engine.  It had a grille reminiscent of a Chrysler  300 (or a Studebaker
Lark???).  The Omaha and Council Bluffs dealers  were unable or unwilling to
get me a Hyper Pack ram-induction intake  manifold and 4-barrel carb for it
to make it into a poor man's 300.  I  believe it had the word "Plymouth" on
it somewhere.  You remember  Plymouths, don't you?  Chrysler Corp used to
make them.  You  remember Chrysler Corp, don't you?  Used to be a pretty  
good
outfit.  I wish them luck and  continuity.

You may want to visit this site to view  some interesting '40's to '60's
cars, including a couple of 300's!

Clicking on Home, then  Links takes you to another page that has an email
address for the  webmaster.  He snapped up a photo of our 300 and popped it
onto his  website.  Pictures of a few more 300's would certainly improve  
the
quality of the site!  I'll inform the webmaster that the 1960  Valiant was a
Plymouth, not a Chrysler.
