1978 Chrysler Hunter.jpg

Chrysler Hunter (Arrow). 1971–3; 1977–9 (prod. 470,000 approx. all types, incl. Hillman). 4-door saloon, 5-door estate. F/R, 1725 cm³ (4 cyl. OHV). HE series facelift for Hillman Hunter in Australia saw to the demise of the Hillman name; from then on, these models were officially marqueless, though sold through Chrysler dealers. Rear end was unique to this market, with de-trimmed but sporting Hustler model and basic sedan now the Hunter Royal. Luxury model, equivalent to the Hunter GT, now the Royal 660, with vinyl roof and RoStyles. Phased out in 1973 as Chrysler Valiant Galant took over this sector. The Chrysler Hunter, as the rest of the world knew it, emerged in late 1977 as a rebadged Hillman, with a far narrower range in its twilight years. Survived Chrysler’s bankruptcy so the last Hunters were built under Peugeot ownership, but while Talbot Hunters appeared in the price lists, none are known to have been built. By the time of its demise, Hunter was well past its prime.
