Notes: Ford Motor Company, Dearborn, Mich. The top offering in Ford's station wagon line for 1962 is this four-door, nine-passenger Country Squire. The power-operated rear window is standard in this Squire as well as in the six-passenger Country Squire and the nine-passenger Country Sedan. The Galaxie nine-passenger wagons have the only forward facing third seat in the low-priced field. Tailgate openings on all of the wagons are more than 50 inches wide. This Galaxie 500 two-door hardtop (bottom) is one of twelve models being offered in Ford's expanded Galaxie series for 1962. The sculptured body of the 1962 Galaxie gives the appearance of actual motion to its unmistakably classic Ford lines. This appearance of movement is emphasized in the recessed Thunderbird-like rear window and in the forward thrust of the roof itself. The new Galaxie series features an industry first -- "twice-a-year" maintenance.
