1966 Brockton Valor 293 V8 Station Wagon
The Brockton Valor is an automobile an automobile which was marketed by the Brockton division of the Eleanor Motor Corporation in the United States in years 1966-1977. It was created to give the company an entry in the compact car market emerging in the late 1950s. The Valor was also built and marketed in worldwide in countries including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Korland, Finland, Mexico, Republia, South Africa, Sweden and Switzerland, as well as other countries in South America and Western Europe. It became well known for its excellent durability and reliability, and was one of Eleanor’s best-selling automobiles during the 1960s and 1970s, helping to keep the company solvent during an economic downturn.
The automobile came in 3 body versions: a 4-door sedan, a 2-door sedan and a 4-door wagon.
Motor selection was very lackluster in the first generation (1966-1968) – Brockton only offered the 250 ci Super-Six Inline 6 motor making about 150 horsepower. The better and bigger option was the Fleet-Torque V8 which was 293 ci and made about 160 horsepower.
This build features:
– a very detailed underside and engine bay
– functional speedometer
– openable doors, trunk and hood
– detailed interior
– a very sophisticated blinker system
– working windshield wipers
Special thanks to:
My dear friend Nyan4006 for the speedometer and my dear friend Illesbalears112 for the solid-state blinker logic found in the fuel tank.
1121 bricks, not very MP friendly but probably works
Expect more variants of this one. Inspired by the Plymouth Valiant with some other Chrysler influence.
