    My favourite here is the 1967-70 Valiant - it was a great era in car design.

    I love the Third Generation Valiant. My first car was a Ford Falcon convertible. So much fun!

    parents had a 60's valient
    as a kid(probably 6-7 years old)
    i got in while it was in my driveway and took it out of park.
    rolled down our driveway and hit a tree
    That was the beginning of great things to come

    My very first car was a 1976 Valiant. A big ol' red four door that I bought for $1000 at age 16. aaaah the memories! That beast ran on for a good 2 minutes after shutting her off!

    My parents had a 1965 Valiant that they bought new. That car lasted until I was in college in the 1980s. (My own first car was a 1963 Rambler Classic--now that is a car I could write about for months on end!)

    My brother-in-law was an engineer with Chryslers for many years and currently works several hours a week (in semi-retirement) as the Chrysler historian here in Michigan. Over the decades, he has restored, traded and collected numerous vintage Chrysler products. Years ago, he gifted one of his daughters with a vintage Valiant. I'm not really knowledgable about cars, but I have a recollection of this car being equipped with unusual "push button shifting." I can see the buttons in my mind's eye. Am I imagining this?

    You're not imagining - Valiants and other Mopars came with push button shifting through the 1964 model year. After that, performance models with automatic transmissions had floor shifters and the other models had column shifters like all the non-Mopars. I think the push button shifter was a really cool feature.

    Was this the car that had the push buttons for the drive, reverse, etc...?

    Yes. I think 1946 was the last year of the push button transmission.
