<VV> Vaiant

[james rice]

All:  We get off on some weird rabbit trails.....

With due regards to wilipedia, I think Mark is right, 'cause we had a '73
Plymouth Duster.  Two door lime green thing w/slant six & auto.  Bought it
used, as it was all we could afford it at the time.  I hated that car, but
it was reliably transportation for many years.  Never told my family what I
called it under my breath, as our daughters were to young to know those
words.  Then we had a couple Citations, until our daughters left home.  Then
we got my wife a red Dodge Avenger ES.  Loved that car, and she looked So
GOOD in it.  Still looks good today in her NaNa-mobile, a RAV4.

The Valiant stable mate, the Dodge Lancer, also died with the Valiant,
replaced by something forgettable.

Boy, the '70's were generally the pits for cars.

Historically Yours,
			James

Mark, Valiant lasted through the 76 model year. Replaced by the Volare
line. Remember the Valiant Scamps from the early 70s?

For the record, the Valiant was discontinued before the 1970 model year,
while the Falcon WAS produced for '70. It was an odd model year for it, as
the first part of the year it was issued with the original compact body,
while the latter part of the year, the nameplate was pasted onto a stripper
Torino body. Afterwards, the nameplate vanished from the US, only to be
carried on in Austrailia.
