The Chrysler Valiant (VC) is an automobile that was produced in Australia by Chrysler Australia from 1966 to 1967.[2] It was released in March 1966, replacing the Chrysler AP6 Valiant.[2] The VC was the fifth Chrysler Valiant model to be produced in Australia.
Overview
The VC Valiant was longer and lower than any previous Australian Valiant model, and was based on the 1965–1966 U.S Plymouth Valiant which itself was essentially a facelift of the 1963–1964 model,[3] Chrysler Australia photographs of early VC's show them bearing the model designation AP7.[4] While the equivalent U.S Valiant came with a split-grille, the VC came with a new full-sized grille. Although made in Australia, it's front bumper, fenders and bonnet were shared with the U.S model.[2]
