Assembly locations

Typ932, I've removed the "USA" you appended to all the U.S. assembly plant entries in the infoboxes, as well as the "Canada" that was already there after "Windsor, Ontario". We needn't list the country. There's only one Detroit, Michigan, and it's linked; anyone clicking on the link will very quickly discover that Detroit is in the United States. Same with Windsor, Ontario — there's only one, and it's linked. We do, however, have more work to do on the assembly plant entries. Plymouth Valiants were built — not always badged quite that way — in many other plants in many other locations. They were built in Mexico from scratch and in Switzerland from CKDs, to name two. How shall we handle that, d'you think? —Scheinwerfermann (talk) 23:30, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge

In 2007 Valiant (automobile) was redirected here without allowing anytime for discussion. Yesterday (August 2010) this was undone. I was not involved in either of these moves, but I am putting it here now for discussion. The Valiant (automobile) article contains no new information that cannot be found in this article or if necessary moved here and even states that it is best known as the Plymouth Valiant in the lead. I therefore support this merge. AIRcorn (talk) 06:23, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Canadian Valiant images

I've moved this image of the turquoise '64 Canadian Valiant convertible to the relevant section of the article. It is clearly a Canadian model; take a look at the rear quarter panels and the "VALIANT" nose badge. That also means it is not a Plymouth; Valiants were not sold as such in Canada until 1967. Likewise, this image of the '63 Signet, while it is of good quality, might not be the most appropriate one for the infobox. It shows a Canadian 1963 Valiant Signet—again, very obvious by the quarter panels and rear side glass shape, and again, not a Plymouth. Same deal again with this image. Bull-Doser, it looks like you're in Canada. Please keep contributing good quality images like these, but please take care to mind the differences between Canadian- and US-model cars, particularly pre-1967, and name, caption, and apply the images appropriately. Would you mind please double-checking and fixing the file names, categories, and (as applicable) captions on your photos of pre-1967 North American vehicles to make sure they're accurate? Thanks. —Scheinwerfermann ^T·_C20:11, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And again

Bull-Doser, it is not acceptable for you to refuse to engage in discussion of your contributions. I have removed your latest improperly-placed image of an improperly-identified car. I know you are capable of understanding the simple problem. —Scheinwerfermann ^T·_C22:21, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dyno Tested edits

This picture is not particularly good, and illustrative of just about nothing. Please stop adding it. Also, the content on the Aussie Valiants belongs on that particular page and not here. And why delete everything about Canada? Thanks, Mr.choppers | ✎ 23:34, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

First to use an alternator?

Was the US Plymouth Valiant the first car to use an alternator, rather than a dynamo? Does anyone have a source for this? Andy Dingley (talk) 13:02, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
