I think it is a '69 Valiant but the turn signal lamps seem odd to me. Is this from a base model? The other ones I've seen for sale have a lens and bezel. This one just has tiny yellow lens screwed to the grille. I was going to take this to a swap meet and sell it but I wanted to be sure what it was.

I agree that the turn signal/parking lenses are unusual but the grille and headlight bezels are 1969 Valiant.

Looks to me like somebody improvised some turn signals from trailer side marker lights.

'69 Valiant front turn signals were also used on the '69 Dodge Daytona, so they bring strong money.

Yeah I looked at it really close and that is what it is. I remember where I got the grille and it makes sense that it was modified. The modification is pretty good. I didn't figure it out until I stared at it for a bit.

I looked at the lens and it had a DOT 94 number which told me that it was approved in 1994. So that was the clue that the grill had been modified.

Someone probably sold the stock lights to a daytona wing car owner for decent cash, then slipped some dually fender marker lights into valiant grille for kicks.

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.
