1961 Valiant Wagon
Quirky Fact about Valiant 3 seater wagons ... They didnt come standard with a spare tire. Cause they had Captive Air tires. Which really all that was, was a smaller inner tube inside the tire. But If you didnt like this then you could order the spare tire option. Which included what is in every other Valiant or Lancer anyway. And as per the Valiant Service Information Bulletin (Issued Nov 11 1959) .. VALIANT UNDERHOOD JACK STOWAGE... the Jack actually went in the engine bay. The Tech Bulletin gave instructions on how to make the brackets and where to drill the holes and mount the jack. The Spare tire still went in the tire well at the back of the wagon. I guess just a little less room for those 3 (little) people (kids) to sit.
