In both versions the seats will fold down to provide 72.3 cu. ft. of cargo space (v. 95.8 cu. ft. for the regular Plymouth wagon). Factory list price: $2,164, or $213 less than the cheapest Plymouth station wagon. Scheduling a minimum 30% of the Valiant production in wagons, Chrysler is drawing a compact bead...
