1965 Plymouth, probably a Valiant 100 [AV1-L V11]. |

I could be wrong but could this Plymouth Valient be a 66 model? Either way this is somewhat ironic. The blue 1957 Ford Thunderbird next to this Valient was actually one of the red T-Birds used in the TV show "Vega$" with Robert Urich as "Dan Tanna." After "Vega$" was cancelled the T-Birds sat on a backlot until they were painted aqua to be used in "Breathless." The ironic part is that in the show "Vega$" this T-Bird was around an old white Plymouth Valient that was driven by Tanna's goofy leg-man "Binzer" (Bart Braverman). The old Valient driven by Binzer was a 1966 model. I just find it ironic that here the T-Bird was once again with a Plymouth Valient . After "Breathless" a guy involved with the production of "Vega$" bought the T-Birds back and re-painted them red again. He sold the stunt one but kept the "perfect" one for himself. I believe his son now owns the famous "Dan Tanna" T-Bird. |

The round bezels under the taillamp panel does suggest 1966, Hunter. |

The 1966 models have a different bumper, and no round bezels: /vehicle_230364-Plymouth-Valiant-1966.html |

My error. You are right, the '66 bezels were more squared off. (I should have known - my Uncle owned a '66 Barracuda, which shared the same taillights.) |

I usually can tell the Valiants by the front ends, rather than the tail ends. So, this one could very well be a 65. |

Oh, I don't thinks there's much doubt about it being a '65. |
