Plymouth Valiant

Created in 1960 in the midst of an economic crisis at the heart of the Chrysler Corporation, the Valiant was the superhero compact automobile meant to keep the company afloat. Arguably the best-named car of the Swinging Sixties, the Valiant is exemplary in its durability and reliability.

It was also a great American export, making way to markets such as the Finnish, the Brazilian, and the South-African market. Despite its focus on practicality, the Valiant was still a beautiful car filled with delightful little details, such as its brand-styled trunk ornaments and innovative back-up tail lamps.
