Although advanced design and careful attention to detail have Increased the appeal of American cars in 1962, probably the most satisfactory features of all models are the reduced servicing requirements and greater economy. Valuable safety features have become standard in many cases and reduction in size has not meant a decrease in passenger space. Here are photographs of four new American models. TOP RIGHT: The Canadian-built Pontiac Strato-Chief. The car has extensive restyling with new grille and tail lights. TOP LEFT: The two-door Plymouth Fury hardtop. Bold, yet functional in appearance, the grille of this car harmonises with its body contours and accentuates the “directed forward” motion. MIDDLE: The Chrysler 300, a two-door hardtop with bucket seats. The front-end styling retains the canted headlights introduced last year, but the fins have been replaced by smooth rear quarters and top-mounted tail lamps. BOTTOM: The Dodge Polora 500 convertible, which has adjustable bucket seats. Fast and responsive the Polora has good hill-climbing ability and self-adjusting brakes.
