With amber parking lamp lenses and the rear view mirror glued to the windshield, this is a '76. Changing from '75. |

I remember back in the days when I was a kid back in the mid 70s, the area where I used to live has alot of these kind of cars, infact back in those days in the Philippines had alot of American Cars and hardly any Japanesse cars were on the road |

I think these were just imported not exported |

well, when i was visiting the philippines the ONLY older cars i saw were japanese,except for 1 van.The only American vehicles were late-model Ford trucks and there weren't many of those.I thought the only American cars were brought over by servicemen. Im an AMC guy. In the 70's were there Gremlins,Pacers,Hornets,Matadors etc? A variation was sold in Mexico under the name VA and a few were sold especially for the Australian market,but I havent heard of any Philippine editions. |

Uhmm I believe the more common Valiant models in the Phil is the 1967-1968 models often in white and also you dont see much older American cars in the Philippines anymore because most of them were used in Pilipino films and ended up getting destroyed, Ive sen a few AMC station wagons once and thats it though |

Sounds like the Philipino film industry is following in the vandallic footsteps of the American industry. |

Yeah,all I saw was a mid-70s Chevy van with the short wheelbase.The darn thing was still in excellent condition. |
