[quote H4935Z4R3AAEC9KA]The 1970s Valiant wagons are a bit unloved and you can see why looking at the rear profile although the built-in spoiler / dust deflector is kind of neat.[/quote] Yes, I well remember a family that lived a few doors down from us bought a new VH Valiant wagon in 1971 and it soon became known as 'The White Whale' because it was white and it looked enormous. Those perceptions were not helped by the mum who drove it, as she was of short stature and it looked like she could barely see over the steering wheel. Chrysler Australia also didn't help with its advertising/brochure imagery, which seemed to accentuate the wagon's excessive tail width and overhang.
