1962 Chrysler New Yorker Town and Country Wagon

Chrysler dropped its signature fins entirely for 1962, and the New Yorker Town and Country station wagon reflected the change with cleaner, squared-off rear quarters (the product of an unconventional engineering solution).

With an all-new platform canceled on cost grounds, Chrysler's designers grafted an updated 1962 New Yorker front end onto a carryover 1961 Plymouth-based wagon body (the only finless full-size wagon in Chrysler's corporate portfolio at the time).

The result rode on a 122-inch wheelbase, the only year Chrysler full-size cars used that dimension, and was available in six- and nine-passenger configurations.

Only 793 New Yorker Town and Country wagons were produced for the model year, placing it among the rarest body styles in the lineup. The nine-passenger version seated three rows in a four-door hardtop body without B-pillars.

Power came from the 413 ci RB-series V-8 rated at 340 hp, paired with the three-speed TorqueFlite automatic.

Chrysler's AstraDome instrument cluster was a defining interior feature, with a broad options list covering power steering, power brakes, power windows and seats, a power rear window, front and rear air conditioning, and a roof-mounted luggage rack.

By the early 1960s he was a child and teen actor even in his 20s due to his youthful looks. He had spots in "Dobbie Gillis, Leave it to Beaver and even a 1955 episode of the Lone Ranger. You could briefly see him and his drag cars in those beach blanket, surf and race car movies with the likes of Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon. I still have the Hot Rod magazine with him and his 4 engine "Showboat" dragster which, as a kid, I though it was the coolest thing ever. I corresponded with him years ago and he was a very nice guy. Acme gave him a bundle of his dragster models to sell and he sent a ton of achival stuff along with his autographs. I'm so happy to see him still doing well.
