Hot Rod Six: 1962 Plymouth Valiant V200

Plymouth joined Chevrolet and Ford in 1960 as all three manufacturers entered the new compact car market. Ford’s Falcon was the most conventional, Chevy’s Corvair the most unorthodox, and the Plymouth Valiant the most aesthetical. This 1962 Valiant V200… more»

Road Runner Clone: 1971 Plymouth Satellite
