This SMP 3in1 kit or promotional 1960 Valiant model was “upgraded” in 1960 for a number of reasons. Even though I liked its looks for the most part, in the back of my mind I desired it to be a coupe. Corduroy was used to resemble a tuck and roll upholstery job to cover the rear seat in an attempt to establish a coupe appearance, sort of. Larger tires added to the rear produced a moderate front rake stance. A blackwashed grille and spinner hubcaps improved its appearance. Interesting enough, the 1:1 car had many critics even though the car itself, looking past its quirky design, was very reliable, economical with its slant 6 engine, and a sales success in the early 60s.
Thanks for looking…
