	Chrysler Valiant
		Chrysler distributors had been finding it increasingly difficult to offload the large and more expensive US sedans in the face of competition from the all-conquering Holden, even sales of the Simca were in decline.
		Unable to meet demand for the Valiant, Chrysler undertook the $36 million construction of their Tonsley Park facility, and by 1963 the new AP5’s would be rolling off the line, boasting high local content and local design initiatives to ensure the cars suitability to Australian roads.
		The Valiant AP6 was an evolution of the AP5, having a facelifted split grille and introducing to the range the V8 engined Valiant "Regal", along with the “Wayfarer” utility.

	Valiant (automobile) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chrysler advertised the Valiant that year as "Nobody's Kid Brother" to indicate that the vehicle was not a compact car from any Chrysler division; however, the vehicle was sold through Chrysler-Plymouth and Plymouth-DeSoto Dealer francises.
		In Australia, the Valiant was imported and later produced by Chrysler Australia.
		Mitsubishi did not renew the Valiant, although there had been some development work in Detroit on project "CM-41," a boxier replacement, reminiscent of the Dodge St. Regis and Plymouth Gran Fury of 1979, that was to have been launched in 1980.

	A-Bodies - Plymouth/Chrysler Valiant varieties including the Plymouth Duster and Valiant Charger
		The Valiant was introduced in 1959 as a 1960 model.
		The Valiant was to be European in nature, from its high-revving engine to its curvaceous body; it boasted an alternator at launch (a Chrysler first), a
		The Chrysler Valiant continued in Australia through 1980, and in South America through 1982 (as the Dodge Dart, Chrysler 3700, and Dodge Charger).

	Chrysler Valiants and Chargers
		Following the success of the R Series, Chrysler quickly followed with the S Series - little was changed except for grille, tail lights, some trim (including the deletion of the fake spare-wheel cover on the boot lid) and the relocation of the gear lever on manual models from the floor to the column.
		Chrysler's "Hemi" motor was released in the VG model series, with the emphasis being on the new motor rather than any major bodywork changes.
		Valiants and their derivatives were exported to various countries at certain times - and the Australian-made ones retain a certain distinctiveness, a "home-made" flavour if you like.

	CH Chrylser Hardtop: a short history

	Chrysler Valiant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chrysler Australia had become increasingly dissatified with the American car's styling direction, which was becoming more box-like leading to the all-Australian VH Valiant series, released in 1971 and given periodic cosmetic updates until the demise of the Valiant range after 1981.
		The VC Valiant was introduced in March 1966 and although it was basically the same car as its predecessor the AP6 underneath, the new body with sharp, squared-off styling was clearly influenced by Chrysler in the United States.
		Chrysler's TV campaign for the Charger featured the young adults at whom it was targeted, waving at one as it swept by them and shouting "Hey, Charger!" — one of the more memorable TV ads of the time, it created a cliché that haunts today's owners.

		Chrysler International SA in Belgium appointed Chrysler Motors Ltd. to be the European concessionaires, and Warwick Wright Ltd. to be the British distributors of the new Australian cars.

	Aussie Coupes \| Chrysler VF, VG, VH, CH, VJ and CL \| V Series \| Valiant
		The long wheelbase models in the VH,VJ and VK series were known as the "Chrysler by Chrysler" and were loaded up with luxury items unseen in Australian made cars.
		They were introduced as a replacement for Chrysler Australia's previous "top-of-the-range" offering, the Dodge Phoenix, which was imported to Australia as a CKD (Complete Knock Down) kit, and assembled in Australia (using a variety of Australian Valiant parts, eg door handles, etc).
		Chrysler never sought to use Australian ideas in the US, where the 265 Hemi Six-pack would have been the first of the really hot sixes.

		The Australian Valiant Charger of course owes its name and much of its inspiration to the Dodge Charger (as well as the Plymouth Duster), especially the styling around the rear window.
		Chrysler’s uniquely styled Rallye wheels arrived as an alternative to the Magnum road wheels that continued to be offered.
		The V6 is the high output Chrysler 300 M unit using single overhead camshafts to operate 24 valves.

	Chrysler Australia E55 V8 Chargers
		Note: Later VJs were built with a de-tuned 340, Chrysler replaced the steel crank shaft with cast iron crankshaft, and fitted smaller valves and lowered compression from 10.05:1 to 8.5:1.
		When Chrysler was looking for a grunty V8 to supplement their 6 cyclinder engines they looked no further than the 340 V8, basically these engines were designed for racing from the ground up.
		Then it was tested in the Chrysler test mules (Utes) at the time, it is from this development, that spawns all the arguments about were they weren't they going to run a 340 in a Bathurst Charger come from.

	Chrysler Australia Valiant AP5 (1963-1964) history, pictures.
		On May 30 1963, Chrysler Australia produced the first Australian manufactured Valiant (as opposed to the 'assembled' R&S Series) - which was known as the AP5.
		Instead of the gear selector being on the steering column, a series of pushbuttons was mounted on the dash to the right side of the steering wheel, which the driver used to engage gears.
		With high local content and a design adapted for local conditions, this 'AP5' Valiant strengthened the brand's position in the marketplace and in November 1963 an AP5 station wagon, or "Safari" was offered.
