That slant six was the best part of my 1977 Dodge Aspen SW.
Have you noticed you can now buy a brand new Chrysler Aspen? D-C has
revived the nameplate. That takes guts after the Aspen/Volare debacle(it
should have been a worthy successor to the Dart/Valiant except for the
careless way Chrysler designed/built/marketed cars in the mid 70's... I
mean who wanted an olive green Aspen w/ orange vinyl interior, that rusted
out in 2 years?).

Yep. Remember the top of the fenders over the front tires? They always
rusted through.

I had a Valiant slant-six station wagon for a while. Must have been,
this is a guess, 1961? Silver. Crummy seats, but a tough little car. I
really abused it. Got rid of it before it rusted through.


In the early '80's I found a 63 Valiant that an old lady had owned
since new. I bought it from her for $125. The interior was like a brand
new car, needed paint.
