Valiant Introduces Signet 200 Hardtop At Low Price
Chrysler announces the 1962 Valiant Signet 200, a seven-model lowest-price compact with a new hardtop and bucket seats. The car features over 50 improvements including a 225 cubic inch engine, life-sealed chassis lubrication, advanced electrical system, galvanized body components, thicker muffler parts, and quieter smooth operation. C. E. Briggs says the Signet 200 merges smart sports car interior with the silhouette of a hardtop at a realistic price. Visiting at home of Mr and Mrs Rice Dennis over the weekend were Mr and Mrs D McKnight of San Antonio, Mrs Lovan Caraway and daughter Kathy, and Mr and Mrs Ray Hall of Houston.
