Line 26:

This version of the Valiant would also achieve worldwide movie fame in the 1971 road rage thriller ''[[Duel (movie)|Duel]]'', directed by the then unknown [[Steven Spielberg]].

It was also on this platform that the Australian Valiants began differing from their US counterparts, particularly with the VE series of 19681967, the VF series of 1969 and the VG of 1970 (which featured the introduction of the HEMI 6), where the four-door sedan had a different, though related, bodyshell, more like the Dodge Dart of the time. Unlike the U.S. station-wagon and pick-up versions were also available, which were indigenous to Australia.

The Valiant VE was ''[[Wheels magazine|Wheels]]'' magazine's [[Car of the Year]] for 1967.
