$41.06 shipping. A two-door hardtop (pillarless), was a “Sports Coupe”.I submit my 2nd car, a 1961 Chevy Bel-Air two-door sedan. This one really looks good in red and black.Not in a bad way at all. After all, when you came out from a hard day at work and slipped into one of those colorful, chromey interiors, it had to make you grin. And, by the way, how did THAT design translate to a four door sedan?Laurence, you forgot to mention the perforated, Masonite headliner.My aunt owned one of these after they traded her 1961 square steering wheel Dodge, but I can’t recall whether it was a Dodge or a Valiant. Chrysler had no budget for a unique coupe roof, and it showed, all too obviously, especially in those rear-most side windows.If we swap this faded red paint for a sandier beige color, we’d have my father’s second car.

I do agree with you, though, in that I always loved the look of those beautiful chrome-bejewled dashes from that era. I used them religiously, and they worked very well. By then, 2 door sedan and 2 door hardtop became much more precise descriptions.Edit – Oops, Pete just beat me to it, and with pictures!By 1953, the difference wasn’t as noticeable.

Watch. Thus, they would buy a Buick or a Cadillac – ie, a car that was really upmarket and that, as opposed to the (in American eyes) more modest and unconventional Valiants and Lancers, would really scream “expensive Detroit iron” in your face and scare all Citroen 2CVs in a 200-meter range away .So, all in all, I think the potential market for cars like these particular Dodges and Plymouths was very small. Usually came from Grand Auto – makers of “Cordovan” tires! Things were possibly different in neighbouring Belgium and Netherlands, and Scandinavia of course, but that’s another story.These cars make AMC’s styling department look brilliant.Didn’t Canada get some mash-up of Valiant/Dart? The Lancer and Dart names were not used in Canada during this time period. I don’t know. Free shipping. They must have been. There is a huge difference between a Loewy-designed Studebaker Avanti, and an Exner-designed Valiant. Think, say, 1940 Ford. Good grief. From Roger’s comment below, I take it that all 1961 and 1962 Canadian Valiants were based on the U.S. Plymouth Valiant, and the 1961-62 U.S. The Lancer and Dart names were not used in Canada during this time period. A god-send, for sure.Was the cool cushion what those car seat pads for the both the lower and upper parts of the seat were called? The last thing the scandal-plagued Chrysler Corporation needed on the market during these years were cars that looked like alien potatoes. In any case, too small to warrant an effort from Chrysler. You are making the mistake of using present criteria to rule on the taste of people 50 years past–judging a book by its cover, a shallow approach at best, while ignoring the engineering that made Road and Track (the snootiest car rag available on your local newsstand in 1961) opine, “It is rare to find general appreciation of an American sedan from a staff such as ours, which is oriented toward small, efficient sporting vehicles but we, as a group feel that the Lancer is an excellent compromise between performance and economy, compactness and roominess, soft ride and roadability.” It goes on.

Smooth and Quiet. Usual front clip from one on the body of the other.Commonly called the Vart,only ever seen one in magazinesFrom 1960-66, Valiants in Canada were badged only as “Valiants” (not Plymouths or Dodges), and were sold in identical form by both Plymouth and Dodge dealers. Dodge Lancer was never sold in Canada in any form, not even badged as a Valiant.
