The Kodak Signet 35 was Kodak's top American-made 35mm camera of the 1950's and the first of the Kodak Signet camera line. The Signet 35 has a coupled coincident image rangefinder, an excellent Ektar 44mm f3.5 lens with rear helicoid focus, automatic film stop counter with double exposure prevention, all built into a sturdy cast aluminum alloy body. The manually cocked Kodak Synchro 300, shutter works well, but compared with the shutters on equivalent German and Japanese cameras of the period, it has significantly fewer speeds (B, 1/25, 1/50, 1/100, and 1/300). However, time has proved the shutter to be very reliable, especially when compared to some of Kodak's leaf shutters of more impressive specifications.
The Signet 80 was a late and rather ambitious addition to Kodak's midrange Signet series. The three interchangeable lenses may have been aimed at the era's Argus C44, but arguably Ann Arbor stole right back with the styling of the Autronic 35.

"In August 1948, once communist power had been consolidated in Romania, Sighet prison was reserved for political opponents of the regime. At first, it held a group of students, pupils and peasants from the Maramureş region. Many of the surviving prisoners are still living in Sighet to this very day." (from Wikipedia)

Valiant Signet: Brave swan.
Actually, the Plymouth Valiant was kind of like a Signet Swan in that during the course of its life, it transformed from a slightly gawky compact to one of Detroit's most solid compact offerings at the end of its run for model year 1976. The Valiant was probably one of few bright spots for Chrysler during the 1970's.
My dad owned a 1971 Plymouth Duster, a Valiant variant - still my favorite of all the cars my family owned during my lifetime.
