I had a 63 Valiant in 1970. Great little car. That slant 6 was a great engine. My uncle was a salesman for Plymouth. He said they hadn't had an trouble with them and they were reliable. He didn't sell me that car it was a private sale.
In 1972 I got a 1968 Dodge van with a slant six and automatic transmission. It was just a basic delivery model but I loved it. Went on vacation from Iowa to Texas and it was great for that with 2 kids.
For speed I had a 1969 Roadrunner.
I ALWAYS SAY THE LATE 50s AND EARLY 60s were the best time to be around. I like these car commercials with the violins playing, etc.
it's not a commercial it's a dealer promo that had's slides and a record. You play the record and every time you hear the beep you switch to the next slide
IT MUST BE TRUE BECAUSE IT'S CAPITALIZED.
Plymouth was always good at providing actual gauges. I had a girlfriend who had a 1992 extremely base model Sundance and without ANY options, the dang thing had ACTUAL full instruments!
Chrysler to, had a 1991 New Yorker and they still put in oil pressure and voltage, only thing it was missing was a tach.
You got to be careful: gauges are often fake. Ford's 90s-2000s oil pressure gauge was fake, the input was a switch and the needle only moves between two positions. The 2000's Ram oil gauge was solely dependent on coolant temperature and RPM. Somebody reverse engineered the firmware so you could set the position to whatever you liked. Many modern temperature gauges are fake, they go between cold, normal, and hot.
@@straightpipediesel True enough today, unlikely in 64. Perhaps even unlikely in 1992, But hell at LEAST it's SOMETHING. My CADILLAC had TWO: Speedo and Fuel. Everything else was "idiot lights" in 1992. Even IF it was "faked" (a bit) Shouldn't Cadillac out do Plymouth? LOL.
Had one, too. With the corduroy tan seats
My first car, in 1966, was a 1963 Valiant 200 4-door, 170 Slant 6/Torqueflite. The six was so anemic so I found a 273 V-8 and four-speed from a wrecked '65 Barracuda and had it installed. The windshield wiper bump-out on the firewall had to be cut out and the wiper arms had to be redone so that the distributor didn't hit the bump out when accelerating. I went through a couple of rear ends until I sold it to a friend who also had to change the axle the night before he was to leave on his honeymoon. That Valiant was pretty darn quick. I could out drag a V-8 Nova with no problem.
Aw Gee, that's a doggone shame. ( I sound like the guy on the commercial).
Anyway, I say they should have only had V8s in these things. I can say that about a lot of cars AND motorcycles but for sure the Valiant. I had a 72 Scamp, but that's another story.
Five years power train warranty was very generous for a 1964 manufacturer
They probably still would've been safe if they'd made the warranty ten years!
I really enjoy these dealer training film strips. I liked how at 1:32 its mentioned the clean uncluttered rear deck, where a couple of years before they were bragging about the faux spare wheel outline on the same deck. I love how each year they (and all makers) brag about how wonderful the new car is, so much better than the year before in styling, features, engines, etc. Its as if to say "this year we are making a good car, not like the junk last year". :)
I have a 64 hardtop 200 signet. I love it.
I don't know if anyone else noticed but... One to the narrators on this was clearly the "Voice of Tech" on all those Master-Tech filmstrips from the 50's and 60's that I have watched for years!
I inherited one of these when I got married. Super relaiable, slant 6, auto trans. Not a bad car. WIth a little TLC, this was a good car. Got us to and from work, store, on vacation, forever. Zero on the styling and cool factor, I would love to have one today. Now I remember drum brakes in the front, pretty catchy when it was damp or wet out. Don't miss that at all. How things come around.
had a 64 v 200 convertible in high school, 1968, never let me down, and she went through hell! wish I had one today! cheers
I remember when these were new and we were cruising the streets in them as teenagers. They were o.k. cars, had decent handling characteristics for the average driver, and good air conditioners (very important where I grew up).
I'm about to build mine up as a twin turbo powered 318 drift car. Kinda far from factory spec, but ah, who cares.
I owned one. They were great cars
I had one too. Had to move and sold it. Regret selling it.
Mom had a new Signet coupe.
Black with red interior.
Slant 6 with push button automatic.
It was super reliable. I don't think it ever needed a repair in the 5 years she owned it.
Traded it for a 69 Dodge Dart. She kept that car 8 years.
LOL I love how this 60s advert didn't refer to Tailfins as Tailfins (they were SO 50's and SO OVER by then!) but instead renamed them "High Ridge Quarter Panels". I wonder how many script reading Salesmen used that term only to have customers say "Huh? Oh you mean the Tailfins!"
I'm so glad I waited until 1964 to order my Valiant. Make mine a wagon with the 225 Slant 6 and a 4 speed manual. Talk about SportWagon ;)
Well, the Valiant enthusiasts are also glad. Do you still have the car?
Slant 6 were horrible engines though
Zli Kurac,
Yes, with so many V8 options, why would you even want one other than the resale value, BUT, it better be 100% original, BUT immaculate, also with documentation, and no a/m parts.
Ray Charles well l heard bad things bout them, never owned one myself though
Zli Kurac do you know anything about slant six? You are an idiot sir 😂
My first car in high school.
Still have one that brings back memories.
Ken K - me too, Ken. Bought my ‘64 in Aug ‘71 for $519. Paid cash for it. All my friends asked why I didn’t use all my money for a car (I had $1K). Had to explain that I’d have to buy gas and pay for maintenance. A few weeks after buying it I had it parked on the far side of my high school’s campus. An elderly gentleman fell asleep at the wheel and plowed into 5 cars; mine was one of them. It was deemed a total-loss and the insurance co. cut me a check for $400 AND I got to keep the car. It looked like hell but I drove it until April ‘73 when the clutch went out and I was hankering for a new Toyota Corolla which I bought for $1700 (18 month note at $65.24/month.
My first car was a V-200 4dr. $150 in the spring of 1973.
My first car. Was willed to me from my Gma. Push button trans on the dash.. and you couldn't kill the slant 6.. maybe the best working motor ever made.. they lasted forever
I bought a 64 signet 2 door hardtop in 1975. It had some dents and rust but it ran good. It had the bucket seats and four speed trans. I had fun with it. When the exhaust rusted out, I had a shop build some awesome oversized pipes for it. The muffler was a Hush thrush. It had a nice rumble to it for six cylinder. Had a guy rebuild the carburetor and I advanced the timing. So long as I burned hi octane gas I could get away with the advanced timing. First gear was really low, if I goosed it, that thing was really quick off the line, had about one second to hit second gear or it sounded like it would over rev. I didn't have a tachometer on it so I'm not sure how many rpm it was turning. In 1982 I sold it to a guy who belonged to a Chrysler six cylinder club. He wanted to put the bucket seats and four speed in a 65 Valiant wagon.
It would be awesome of that wagon is still making the rounds.
My first car was a 64 valiant my Gma left me. Push button transmission on the dash.. and a slant 6 . I swear those slants were the toughest engines ever made.. the entire car can be worn out over 300 000 miles.. and a slant 6 will still run like a tip lol
Clean lines on this car. I like it.
i wishd id had 1962-1969 valiants
Love this! Thanks for sharing! Iv got a 63 would be cool to see those
Heck, I'm sold!

I love these and the Falcon.
nice car very sharp looking good power wish they made now
I had a 1963 with a 3 on the tree it was unique year
The *bing* between cuts cracks me up
You know it is to tell the person running the slide projector to advance to the next slide, right?
Probably a film strip, but, yes.
i wishd id had some day 3 valiants 1964-1967 and 2 valiants blue and yellow and i would love to paint three valiants
i wishd id had 1960-1967 valiants
The thing i keep seeing is the 'dip and spray' process. Maybe they cheap'd out in the later part of the '60s but rust was a killer .
g mat Yep, my 64 has not a bit of rust but it is pretty severe for the later cars (70+)
The rust and quality issues of 1957 almost killed Chrysler, they spent the next ten years trying to shake that image. By the time 1967 rolled around the bean counters were running the place and stopped the rust prevention process on all except the high-end cars. That is why you see a Plymouth Duster with the trunk hanging down and next to no rust on an Imperial Crown convertible. By the mid 70's it was not uncommon at all to see a Roadrunner or Charger going by with the quarter panel flapping in the breeze. They once again started the rustproofing process on all vehicles from 1972 onwards, then in 1977 rust came back mostly on the popular Plymouth Volare/Dodge Aspen and Chrysler Cordoba cars, as the sunroof/T-Tops leaked rotting out the floorboards. You could roll the carpet back and be just like Fred Flintstone.
NIGHTMARES ! ALL NIGHTMARES ! CHRYSLER, YOUR MOPAR FANS ARE ALL HORRIFIED AND DEPRESSED OVER THIS. WE WATCH THESE OLD COMMERCIALS SOMEHOW AS IF THEY"RE MADE YESTERDAY.
I WISHD ID HAD SOME DAY 1963-1969 VALIANTS
Timeless just as the early Falcons are.
i wishd id had 2 valiants 1963-1967 and 2 red ones 64-67 and one green 1967
i wishd id had 2 valiants 1963-1969
I LIKE IT
The Canadian made 64 Valliant had a different looking tail light assembly. In fact Canadian made Mercury and Chrysler products had a whole pile of differences compared to their American companions.
Would the Canadian Valiants be similar to the Australian May 1963 AP5 Valiant :

And a new choke that can’t stick? Lol! I remember having them stick! (Of course they were probably 20 years old at the time! I didn’t know a SureGrip diff was a option! We had several of these as used cars back in the early 1970’s. They were good cars!

Are there multiple voices or is it just inconsistent recording quality?
loved the way it felt when the slant six and auto-transmission hunkered down - a better car imo than the Mustang.
nice car
The picture of the 170 ci slant six is actually a 225 ,look at the bypass hose above the water pump to the head
I WISHD ID HAD SOME DAY 7 PLYMOUTHS 1962-1969

Sorry, Valiant, I had the 1964 Dart GT 273v8 with 4 speed hard top... too bad it spent too many years in the rust belt.....the tin worm got to it and then someone rear ended it when it was parked.
HARİKA
i wishd id had some day 2 valiants and 1 barracuda 1964
i wishd id had red 1963 valiant. blue 1964 valiant and 1966 valiant red
I would have to get a signet with a big v-8 engine and a 4 speed automatic transmission (if offered).
4 speed Auto? 25 years until Ultra-drive comes out...
Auto manufacturers (especially in the US) seemed to think automatic equaled three gears way too long. GM even kept their two speed until 1973. I don't know why adding a fourth was such a hard idea to accept.
i would love to paint some day cars from valiant to citroen ds
I W3ISHD ID HAD SOME DAY 1964 VALIANT. 1965 VALIANT AND 1967 BARRACUDA

i had a 63 with the 170 engine. it had a steel dash, very unsafe in a crash.
Notice the colors. Not just black white and gray like todays cars.
Anyone have any 64 Valiant stationwagon taillights for my wagon ? I swapped my 65 over to a 64, but the wagon specific taillights are the only hard part.

Why no Valiant V800? 😂
I WISHD ID HAD SOME DAY 2 VALIANTS
I WISHD ID HAD SOME DAY 2 VALIANTS 63 AND 65 GREEN AND YELLOW
I'd be interested in this car. BUT, it must have a V8 and 4 speed tranny.
I can get the custom dual exhaust made, no problem, to completely
stock.
Yeah, too many automatic weenies, back then too. That's
why there are none to be found. Too few IF ANY Valiant
bodies around with STOCK 4 SPEED CUT-OUTS IN THE
FLOOR.
4 speed is a rare duck... 3 on the trees are few too because the automatic was so durable and reliable.
I've never seen a Plymouth Valiant (non Duster), with a factory V8 and 4 speed manual transmission. Please, somebody, prove me wrong with videos.
Is that yawning I hear?
I like the car a whole lot more than the impotent commercial.🤣🤣🤣
Valiant, aka why Chrysler ended up needing a bailout in 1979
I WISHD ID HAD SOME DAY 4 VALIANTS FROM 1964-1969 AND 2 DARTS
