The Chrysler AP5 Valiant is an automobile produced by Chrysler Australia from 1963 until 1965.[1] It was the third Chrysler Valiant model to be produced in Australia.
Overview
The AP5 Valiant was released in May 1963, replacing the SV1 Valiant.[1] It was the first Valiant model to be manufactured in Australia rather than just assembled there.[4] Based on the 1963 Plymouth Valiant, the AP5 featured entirely new sheet-metal, with most body panels produced in Australia.[5][4] While the front fenders were the same as the U.S Valiant, the front of the Australian model had a six-bar grille that stretched from headlight to headlight.
