...FORD. The standard sized Fords will go under the names of Galaxie and Galaxie 500, while the intermediate will get the Fairlane designation. The Galaxies have lost the canted, razorlike rear fins in favor of a clean rear section, and overall have a squared off look capped with a heavier-looking grille. The Fairlanes, with a 115.5-in. wheelbase and 197-in. overall length, have interior dimensions approximating the 1961 standard Ford. Flat grilles have a forward thrust, and the round taillights and metal trim are reminiscent of earlier Ford models. Falcon, the best-selling compact of the year, will...
...GENERAL MOTORS. Chevrolet's Impala and Bel Air, the standard models of the line, are unchanged in basic dimensions, have new, squared-off silhouettes. Similarly, the Corvair-still the only U.S. car with a rear engine-has only a new insignia and a little more ornamentation; contrary to widespread gossip, there will be no Corvair convertible for the fall. Chevy's intermediate (110-in. wheelbase and 183-in. overall length), will have single headlights, sculptured side, horizontal bars on the grille and a squared-off back fender. A pizazz version will get the bucket-seat treatment...

...CHRYSLER. Both the Plymouth and the Dodge Dart are completely redesigned, are shorter and narrower on the outside, but not appreciably changed in interior size. Both have long, low hoods and short, sloping rear decks. The Dart has abandoned its curly rear fin for an unadorned, clean rear-fender line, has changed its concave grille to a flat one with a forward thrust. The pizazz model, Polara, will come out only in two-door hardtop and convertible models. Both Dodge and Plymouth retain their 1961 engines but will seem a lot livelier because they are 300-400 lbs. lighter. Plymouth...
...stickler for just the right detail, he frequently consults his favorite reference, the Sears, Roebuck catalogue, or poses before a Polaroid Land camera (with a self-tripping shutter) to get the authentic look of a clenched fist, a tyrant's sneer, a trouser seat viewed from the rear...
