Chrysler Engineering is widely regarded as being ahead of their time, when they designed these cars. The Plymouth Valiant has one of the largest trunk spaces ever provided in a compact car. The Plymouth Barracuda's 14.4 square foot glass back window was unlike anything else on the road back in 1964-66. It still is today. The slant 6 and V8 engines are generally thought of as virtually bullet-proof in reliability, and yet with a reasonable level of fuel economy. Never built to their full potential from the factory, some slant 6 engines are now being used for drag racing! The TorqueFlight automatic transmission was (and still is) one of the best: world-renowned for its incredibly durability and silky smooth shifting. The new-for-1962 suspension went nearly unchanged through the last of the Darts and Valiants in 1976. Also ahead of its time, it responds quite well to radial tires and other minor improvements.
