1977 Chrysler Regal & Valiant Brochure
By 1977, Chrysler Australia positioned the Regal as the mainstream family sedan against Ford's Fairmont and Holden's Kingswood, offering buyers a comfortable mid-size alternative with a 4.2-litre six delivering 136 horsepower. The Valiant remained the tougher, value-conscious choice, its 3.5-litre engine proven across Australian conditions since the early seventies.
1962 Chrysler Valiant Brochure
By 1962, the Australian market received the Valiant as Chrysler's answer to the compact boom sweeping postwar America. With a sturdy 225-cubic-inch six producing 145 horsepower, it arrived in Adelaide and Melbourne as a practical alternative to the imported British rivals and local Holden FJ. Buyers found dependable engineering and American scale at a moment when compact cars w
1965 Chrysler Valiant Brochure
When the 1965 Valiant reached Australian showrooms, it arrived as Chrysler's answer to the family car buyer seeking substance without excess. The 200-cubic-inch six-cylinder engine delivered 120 horsepower—enough for real-world pace without thirst. Local buyers found themselves choosing between a four-door saloon, practical wagon, or hardtop coupé, each configured with upholste
1967 Chrysler Valiant Brochure
By 1967, the Valiant had already established itself as a genuine alternative in the Australian market, where Holden and Ford dominated. Chrysler's compact offering arrived with the proven Slant-Six engine producing 145 horsepower, appealing to buyers seeking American engineering without the bulk of full-size sedans. The Australian market received left-hand-drive specifications
1970 Chrysler Valiant Brochure
The 1970 Valiant arrived with a 225-cubic-inch engine producing 145 horsepower, paired with a three-speed automatic transmission that proved durable across Australian terrain. The reinforced suspension and higher ground clearance addressed local road conditions, making it a genuine competitor to the Holden FJ in regional markets where reliability mattered more than prestige.
1971 Chrysler Valiant Charger Brochure
By 1971, the Valiant Charger had become Chrysler Australia's answer to Ford's Falcon GT and Holden's Monaro. Built locally at the Lonsdale plant near Adelaide, this muscle-era two-door sat on a wheelbase of 2.77 metres and delivered genuine performance at a price Australian buyers could justify. The 225-cubic-inch Slant-Six engine produced 145 horsepower—modest by American stan
1976 Chrysler Valiant Utility Brochure
By 1976, the Valiant Utility dominated Australia's light commercial market, competing against Ford's Falcon ute and Holden's offerings with proven American engineering. Left-hand-drive conversion for Australian roads was standard; the 145 hp six-cylinder engine delivered steady torque across the outback's varied terrain. Chrysler's local assembly meant parts and service remaine
1973 Chrysler Valiant Wagons Brochure
The 1973 Valiant wagon lineup offered Australian buyers a choice between the standard saloon-derived cargo hauler and a more upmarket variant with wood-grain trim and upgraded interior appointments. Both shared the proven 3.7-litre six-cylinder engine, delivering 145 horsepower through a three-speed automatic or column-shift manual transmission.
1965 Chrysler Valiant Wayfarer Brochure
The Wayfarer's 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine, producing 55 kilowatts, was designed to compete head-on with Australia's entrenched Holden EJ in 1965. Chrysler's engineering team tuned the powerplant for local driving conditions—dusty outback roads and coastal heat demanded different cooling and suspension geometry than European variants. The result was a car that felt purposefu
1970 Chrysler Valiant Wayfarer & Dodge Ute Brochure
The 1970 Valiant Wayfarer arrived in Australian showrooms powered by a 225-cubic-inch six-cylinder engine producing 145 horsepower, paired with a three-speed automatic or four-speed manual transmission. The Dodge Ute variant shared this mechanical foundation but traded sedan practicality for an open cargo bed, making it the choice for farmers and tradespeople who needed genuine
