Plymouth because it's smaller and looks different.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I like the styling of the Impala but the size of the Fury, Chevrolet, Plymouth, then Ford this time.

Chevrolet had the edge at this time.

Chevrolet hit a home run in '62; my fave Impala of the decade.  Ford second and Plymouth third.

1) Chevy  2) Plymouth  3) Ford 

The '62 Chevy to my eyes has always been, along with the '65 the two best looking Chevy's of the sixties decade. 

The Plymouth for '62 had to grow on me over the decades, but now I applaud it for being not only different looking, but just an interesting oddity to it. 

And the '62 Ford, I like it.  It is way more beautiful to look at than the previous years '61. 

Good comparisons today John Bono!

Ford please.   The "62 Chevy is my #3 favorite Chevy after the '55 & '64.  Just don't like the styling of the Plymouth. Ford would be '61, '63 '62 but Ford over Chevy most of the time.

For me Chevrolet and Plymouth are in a tie for first place. The beauty and the beast. What the Plymouth lacked in looks it made up in performance on the street or strip.

Chevy, Ford, Plymouth. If we were comparing 1963, The Chevy and Ford would be tied for first with Plymouth second.
