OK, first of all an apology, that silver car is the normal Valiant 2 door Coupe, however it's had the Chrysler by Chrysler (CxC) front grafted on to it.

The Oz Chrysler luxury range....

Really Started with the 65 AP6 V8 , first Oz assembled car to have buckets seats(?) and a tbar console. Looks very similar to your Plymouth Signet.

Then they released the Valiant VIP in 1968, this was effectively a four door Dart, had an extended wheel base, a limousine rear window, extra padded Vinyl roof, integrated Air Con different front grill (in 69 and 70) and came with either a slant or 273 (68) a slant or 318 (69) or a Hemi 245 or 318 (1970) Although quite different in appearance, it was still seen as a "big valaint" so Chrysler went one more step.

In 1972 (?) they released a car with possibly the most pretentious name since "the artist formally known as Prince"

It was a large 4 door luxury model, and to avoid the "Valiant" tag, they called it the "Chrysler by Chrysler" !! (We call it the CxC)

This was a bigger heavier and more luxurious car all round than any Valiant, with the full cats ass as far as appointments, electric seats etc, based around an extended Valiant platform. This car came with either a 265 Hemi or the "new" 360 2 bbl, the Hemi cars having a lower level of appointment generally.

For some bizarre reason, Chrysler persisted in making two door Coupe versions of both it's Valiant range and the new Chrysler by Chrysler.

Both these models sold really poorly, as the Charger was taking the Oz motoring public by storm and outselling everything at this time.

CxC 2 doors are quite rare as a result, with the Valiant 2 doors not being that much more common.
