No one has any Idea how amazing these cars are. My friends are jealous because i get better gas mileage and i still leave them at the stop light. And it's a four door but its still bad ass
i had one.. below 30 degree it would not start. shifter held together with rubber bands.. but i only paid $600 for it and it was only 5 years old but it was a piece of crap
The push button automatic trannies used in Mopar cars was used from 1956 to 1964. By any account they were a success, especially once Chrylser finally installed a park lever. Unlike other makes like Pachard (sp) they were actually mechanically, not electrically actuated making the operation very reliable.
Funny, kids sitting in the back sandwiched between the back of the last row of seats and the rear lift gate. "Get ready to eat lots of steel and glass Timmy when we get rear ended at a stop light".
My grandmother had a '60 or '61 Valiant station wagon, and my memory is that it had the first windshield wipers that I'd ever seen that both went the same direction at the same time...however, looking at these ads, I can see that the wipers were mounted the way all other cars were that that time, so that they moved opposite of each other.
Man i would love to get this car. And i wonder how many people realize that this Valiant was used in the movie "My Favorite Martian" from 1999. . .

I had white one with a 3 on the floor with a sport shifter. A real fun car for the time. I remember it fondly.

The "Push Button Automatic" was an idea that never really worked.
The "Slant Six" engine was a design that really worked welll
Great to see these old commercials, they are like time capsules from another era!
