I've been searching the internet for good pics of 1969 Valiant 100 2dr cars. Trying to compare them to 1970 Valiant 2dr pics, and I'm having a hard time finding the differences. I could keep looking, but, I figured with this wealth of A-body knowledge, someone out there could save me hours of searching. Thank you!

The Valiant was manufactured from 1960-1976.

In 1970, the Valiant was available in a 2-door and 4-door.

From Wikipedia:

For 1969, a new one-piece, full-width grille, new tailights and trim were featured. Standard engines were unchanged, although refinements in the Chrysler Clean Air System (formerly Clean Air Package) produced better operating economy from the 6-cylinder engines. Improved brake adjusters, a more efficient power steering pump, and improvements to the optional Sure-Grip differential were also highlighted.

For 1970, the Valiant was carried over with detail changes, including a new black plastic grille sculptured differently from 1969's metal item. The central portion protruded flush with the forward edge of the hood, while the remainder of the grille was set back from the front plane. For all except export Valiants, the base 170 engine was replaced by a new 198 cu in (3.2 L) version of the Slant-6. The 198 gave better performance than the 170, and was less costly to make, since it used the same cylinder block as the 225.
