Turlock Swapmeet January 2010

Fun Times for All! My Old Valiant Sedan
1968 Plymouth Valiant 100 sedan Slant Six, Four on the Floor It really was one of those “You had to be there!” kind of things, or maybe “Happiness is a total Beater!” I made a ton of great memories bombing around in this little car.
