First time poster here...and Chrysler nut. Further to the Valiant Pacer comment with its 'aircraft style', high backed buckets...literally years before headrests on the equivalent Falcon GT or Holden Monaro. Also what has to be mentioned going back to the earlier posted interior image of a stylish HK Brougham is the 1970 Chrysler VIP (the Valiant name was dropped for the stretched wheelbase VIP), which as an Australian first, had as standard equipment. 1. Integrated air-con. (available as a delete option) 2. Radio standard in the 318 V8. 3. Ventless front door windows on all A/C equipped VIP's. Also, two overlooked interiors I've always liked are the 1970 Hillman Hunter GT with the gauges and walnut dash and similarly, the very scarce 1970 Ford Cortina GTL (luxury)which If I recall, also featured a walnut dash. My twopenneth worth for this most interesting discussion thread. BTW, of possible interest... I own an under restoration 1970 Chrysler VIP and a Thar She Blue, 1970 Valiant Pacer hardtop.
