At the top of the page is a Light Blue Valiant Signet 200 parked broadside on what looks like is a beach. There is a pretty model leaning on the driver side door so that you can only see the top of her and she is looking at something off in the distance. There is a picture on the left of the Special Styling Award given to the Plymouth Valiant and, on the right, is a shot of the interior of this particular car. They call it the stunning new interior trim offered in a variety of different colors and talks about the tough vinyl bucket seats that have the "look and feel of soft leather". They say that this Signet 200 is "actually America's lowest-priced hardtop with bucket seats". They also claim that this is the first time in seven years that the Society of Illustrators has given their award to a car. I find myself wondering just what they could have been devoting their time to in the previous six. |

Below this is a larger picture of the red Valiant parked at the side of a river where two men are rowing a boat. The Valiant is parked with the front end toward the camera, so close that the word Valiant is visible. They claim that "Other cars may claim more owners that Valiant, but not as many independent ones". It may just be me speaking but, that sounds like a lot of malarky. |

The headline claims that "You don't have to be punished for owning a sports car" and the text talks about sports cars of the past with seats that made a school desk feel comfortable and a trunk that was designed to be there, but not to hold anything. Designers in America began to change this by slightly enlarging the front seat and then Plymouth decided to really tackle the problem by designing the Barracuda. With all of the improvements designed in, the Plymouth Barracude has become a sports car for people who have grown up. |
