It is not updated with the most recently uploaded brochures. You should reference oldcarbrochures.org for the most recent updates. Per Allpar: (About the 1974 model): The flagship among the sedans was the Valiant Brougham, a mid-year addition to both the sedan and hardtop lines (shown at the very start of this page). It featured crushed velour upholstery and many other luxury interior appointments. Color keyed or simulated wire wheel covers were offered. Vinyl roofs, chrome grilles and stand-up hood ornaments were standard equipment. Link to "www.allpar.com" It looks like the Brougham was brought out in response to the gas crisis at the time. People stopped buying fullsize cars and were looking for alternatives that were just as luxurious.
