1966 Plymouth Valiant (MM #1881)

Sometimes we don’t notice how much things change because that change is gradual. I was driving down the road recently and saw a 1966 Plymouth Valiant and it made me realize just how much automobiles have changed in my lifetime. When you see an old Valiant next to a modern day Ford or Honda you…
