My first was a 67 Plymouth Valiant. Slant 6/3 on the tree.

Obviously this is not mine, but it gives the younger crowd and idea of what it looked like.



I might get me another one someday and drive it til the tires fall off.

You won't have that problem if you torque down the lug nuts.

Was that one of the cars that Chrysler put the reverse lug nut threading on one side of the car?

My 96 monte was my first car- probably why I'm so attached to it.

Ouch. Can you get replacement parts for them? Or do you basically have to convert it to the traditional style threading? Which is probably a wise thing to do anyway.
