Customer Reviews
The Best American Compact ...
The first Valiants were uniquely styled vehicles that would run forever. Unlike the offerings from GM (the Corvair, Tempest, F-85 and Special, and Ford, the Falcon, all of which self destructed within 2 or 3 years after rolling off the assembly line) the Valiant was a durable car that was well nigh indestructible; I remember the streets of Winnipeg, Manitoba swarming with these cars in the mid 1970s, well worn but still running.
It is interesting to read the foreign reviews, especially the British reviews, which are bemused with the fact the car is considered a compact in America; the Brits thought it was a rather large car.
All in all, this is an excellent book, reminding car enthusiasts that forgotten cars such as the Valiant deserve recognition.
