In 1960, Chrysler Corporation proudly unveiled the Valiant. The print advertisements boasted, "Nobody's kid brother, this one stands on its own four tires and challenges every car made here or abroad to match it - pound for pound, dollar for dollar! Chrysler Corporation has the last word...Valiant." Turns out that it was a stand-alone model for that year alone. By 1961, it became a Plymouth. These great compact cars were part of the start of Detroit getting behind smaller vehicles. If yours isn't looking and performing as valiantly as it used to, be sure to pick up this comprehensive guide. It's the definitive source for your scrappy little Mopar.
