The '62 is pretty much my favorite Plymouth ~ that one's got '68 hubcaps.
That one is strange though, it says Belvedere on it but it only has 2 tailights like a Savoy. It should have four. I realy dig them Torq Thrusts on the '64.
Thanks for the pics!

Good eye Dave, The 62 Ply next to the Dodge IS a Savoy . It's not the same one as the pic of the 62 Belvedere further down the street..

When I was 16 , the only wheels I had to drive was my dad's 62 SAVOY .. 4 door sedan.. slant-6 , .. "fillerup with oil..and .. check the gas please"

Mabey now we wouldn't complain about it, but I'm guessing it was probably in the '70s
or early '80s when Steve "had" to drive it. Prolly didn't seem to special then, I would imagine.

Don't get me wrong guys .. I would be puffin-proud to drive her around today .. but , yup it was 1972..
Let's review. I had 3 older brothers and at that time , Dean had a 68 Road
Runner, 383 magnum,. Glenn , a 65 Impala 2dr hdtp with a 327 I believe,, Wayne had a very cherry 65 Dodge Monaco 2dr hdtp w/ a 318 .
No pics on hand .. DAMN
The 62 Savoy , was not a babe magnet my friends . The sound of a "6" under the hood was not what you wanted back then .. Plus it was a seriously bad "mosquito fogger"

nice pics, plus the hood scope on the 64 appears to be a max wedge version, not a hemi scoop
