1962 Dodge Dart 413 Max Wedge crazy option. (pic)

You could not drive it on Conn. roads back in the day. Law stated you had to have working wiper but A WINDSHIELD was not required.

Let's be honest guys....in 1962 or 2021....this is one unusual looking car!

@jack-d

odds, No more unusual than this one.

Having been the numerous product unveilings, I always said I'd have paid good money to be at the dealer meeting where they pulled the wraps off the '62 & '63 Dodges and Plymouths and said, "Here are our new cars!"

You know what?......I have always liked the '63 Dodge since the first time I saw it.  Maybe it's just because it wasn't the '62.

Over the years I've gotten used to the '62 and '63 Dodges, They are unique, to say the least.  I think they finally got the design right with the 1964 model.

I love the 64 Plymouth but never cared too much for the grille on the 64 Dodge; prefer the 63 and 65.

Gotta love the styling of '62 Dodge/Plymouth. When equipped with the 413 CI Ram Induction engine they where a force to be reckoned with on the street or strip.

@jack-dodds I have dreaded the moment I felt compelled to share this, but after Chrysler Corp.'s sublime "Forward Look" of '57 through to '59 - in my view the most attractive American cars of the 1950s - their design inexplicably fell into an abyss until the arrival of Elwood Engel, from Ford.

I am sorry to say but I believe all 1961/62 Chrysler products, from Plymouth right up to Imperial are among the most ill advised designs in the history of the automobile!

@charles-rockett  Lol....well the Chryco design statement of the early 60s certainly polarized opinion.  Generally, back in the day I disliked Chryco cars from 1957 through 62, save for the 62 Chrysler and 62 Plymouth.  However in recent years I have come to appreciate the changing Chryco styling through these years for the statement it made.  I recall even as a child hearing and agreeing with the mostly negative comments about those outlandish, massive fins 1957 thru 61; then the very quirky styling of the 61 & 62 years.  I realize now just how much I compared all cars to my beloved GM and Ford "standard", which made me rather closed minded.  Now I really appreciate just how very different they were from the others and know some of the reasons why.  I also now see how it makes automobile history much more interesting.  I love seeing the wide range of car styling of this era on display at car shows and appreciate the controversy and debate it still creates.
