Automobile, 1963 Plymouth Valiant Signet 200 Convertible. The 1963 Plymouth Valiant evolved through an era when compact cars began to chisel their own niche in the American automotive market. It was affordable, durable and stylish. All important attributes. And when this one was introduced, 1963 was the first year for a Valiant convertible! Made by the Chrysler Corporation, the Valiant was launched in the late 1950s to tap into the growing demand for smaller more economical vehicles. It became its own separate line in 1961. It would be reabsorbed as a Plymouth model later on. Like many other car introductions in the 50s-60s era, the fins and grill reflected that subtle Space Age influence. And this one is a Ruby Red Space Age convertible too! The Valiant set itself apart with its Slant-6 engine powerplant, coming with a standard 170ci and a 225ci option. That offered buyers 101-145hp. Backed up with the 3-speed TorqueFlite push-button automatic transmission, that added one of its Hi-Tech features for the times. The car's unibody construction gave it rigidity. That translated into a stable ride even on rougher road. This Valiant has been in storage for a number of years. It would be a great project to bring it back to its '60's glory! Not running. Project car with great potential. VIN# 1332646171. Odometer reads 95,305 miles.
