Fireside Valiant chat

I heard this AM on one of the TV car shows that in 1960 there were actually Valiants dealers just like Dodge and Plymouth!!????? Just wondering IF that was so. The guy on that show had a Valiant wagon at a show, and he was talking. He aid, Mopar was trying to push the compact carline and gave it its own co. I was there back then but I do not remember, as I was just 12!!! Good trivia question for Ms. Rani!!!
