Jeffrey,
Re: Back in the Day
Yes, indeed, a Tiger LAT 4 option was sold (6.5 Quarts)
A Sept. 15, 1966 listing from International Automobiles Incorporated
(Sunbeam Distributor) can be viewed
on TigersUnited.com:

Note, the only casting letters I can see are "TIGER", neither "Rootes",
"Powered by Ford", nor "Chrysler".
The Chrysler Pentagram first appeared near late 1966, or 1967 on the
front fender.
