Curiously, Wikipedia does not list them Philippines at the assembly location  Link to "en.wikipedia.org" -- Last edit: 2014-07-06 20:04:56 |

http://musclecarsph.fr.yuku.com/topic/765/Local-Muscle?page=1#.U7msX7Hly2d According to this, Dodge Darts both coupe and Sedan were built and sold there, as well as the Valiants. Not surprised, as they are once very common in the Philippines According to that web/forum, Chrysler Phil built the following: CHRYSLER PHILIPPINES 1964-1970 Plymouth Valiant and Dodge Dart 4door sedans; 1967-1970 Dodge Dart GT 2door coupes (all powered by the unbreakable 198 and 225 cu. in. inline "slant' six) 1966-1970 Plymouth Satellite and Dodge Coronet 440 4door sedans (also propelled by the unremarkable but totally bulletproof inline six) |

http://www.allpar.com/history/chrysler-years/1966.php Another link about the Chrysler production in the Philippines and it stated that they did indeed assembled Valiants and Darts, and trucks which I am not surprised.. Though I'm surprised they also assembled Simcas.. I thought they were just exported and sold there officially. Production outside the U.S.: Argentina: Valiant Australia: Valiant, Hillman, Singer, Humber, Dodge trucks Brazil: Simca Esplanada Canada: Plymouth, Dodge, Dodge and Fargo trucks (Windsor produced two unique-to-Canada models, the Chrysler Windsor — identical to the U.S. Newport — and the 300 “Saratoga” (a sedan version of 300, without Saratoga badging). Colombia: Dodge, Dodge trucks France: Simca 1000, 1301, 1501 Mexico: Plymouth, Valiant, Barracuda, Dodge, Dart, Dodge trucks Morocco: Simca 1000, 1301 Netherlands: Plymouth, Valiant, Barracuda, Dodge, Dart, Dodge and Fargo trucks, Kew trucks Peru: Plymouth, Dodge, Simca 1000, Dodge and Fargo trucks, Kew trucks Philippines: Valiant, Plymouth, Dart, Dodge, Simca 1000, Hillman, Dodge and Fargo trucks, Kew trucks Rhodesia: Commer and Karrier trucks South Africa: Valiant, Barracuda, Dodge, Simca 1000, Hillman, Humber, Dodge, Kew, Commer, Karrier Spain: Dart, Simca 1000, Barreiros Turkey: Dodge, Fargo, DeSoto, and Kew trucks U.K.: Hillman, Sunbeam, Singer, Humber; Kew, Commer, Karrier trucks Venezuela: Plymouth, Valiant, Barracuda, Dodge, Dart, Simca 1000, Hillman, Humber, Dodge and Fargo trucks, Commer -- Last edit: 2014-07-06 22:52:09 |

The full list may well be much longer and wider. Hillman Hunter and/or Avenger production and/or assembly took place in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia (which used CKD kits from Argentina, as well as some Imp assembly), Venezuela, Uruguay (which developed a unique Avenger pick-up version), Peru, Malta, Eire, Indonesia, Malaysia, Portugal, Thailand, Trinidad, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa (with Peugeot engines to satisfy local content regulations) and Iran. Most of these sites were active 1970-75ish; Rootes had extensive networks for overseas assembly in 50s and 60s - mainly but not entirely in Commonwealth territories - and then piggy-backed into Chrysler facilities following the 1966 takeover. Simca/Chrysler France did similar. There was also some further US Chrysler assembly in Europe in 60s - I think we have examples from Finland (which later on did French Horizons as well), Sweden, and Belgium at least. UK also used Dodge branding for trucks and vans. If anyone has a good set of World Car Catalogue editions from 60s and 70s, check the overseas assembly details in each year's appendix for manufacturer information for Chrysler US, Hillman/Chrysler UK, and Simca/Chrysler France. |
