Fotfd Falcon Introduces New Models; Squire And Club Deluxe Wagons The Ford Falcon for 1962 boasts new styling, an expansion ■of the economy and maintenance- free features that have made it fhe best selling compact car in the country, and the addition of two new models. The new models are a Falcon •Squire station wagon and a De luxe Club wagon. While describing the compact ■car’s new styling as still “dis tinctively Falcon,” Matthew S. McLaughlin, general sales man ager of Ford Motor Company’s Ford Division, pointed out that the Falcon has a new grille, new front fenders and hood, and lar ger taillights, but still retains the inside-outside dimensions of its predecessors. On the interior, the instrument cluster has been revamped and there are new fabrics, styles and colors for all models. MODELS The new Falcon line of 13 mo dels will be introduced by Shealy Motor Company on September 29. Included in the line are stand ard and deluxe two- and four-door sedans, two-door Futura, stand ard and deluxe two- and four-door .station wagons, four-door Squire station wagon, Station Bus, Club wagon, and Deluxe Club wagon. FALCON SQUIRE The Falcon Squire is a smart, four-door, six passenger station wagon with simulated wood ex terior trim that imparts a cus tom-crafted look. Limed oak rails <made of fiberglas) follow the body side contour lines, go around the tail lamps and across the tail gate. “Fiberglas planked” walnut grained paneling appears between the rails. The Squire has as standard e- quipment color-keyed carpets in the front and rear seat area, pleat ed all-vinyl interior trim, white steering wheel and chrome horn ring, cigarette lighter, front-door courtesy light switches, rear-door arm rests, front-seat-back rear ash tray, bright metal door and window frames, unique ornaments on the rear quarter panel, and a power operated tailgate window (optional on other Falcon wagons). The Squire is also a “working wagon.” With the second seat con verted. the Squire boasts a big, flat ard level cargo space of 76.2 cubic feet. The tailgate is counter balanced for easy opening and clo sing. For safety, the window must be completely lowered before the tailgate can be opened. STYLING Elaborating on the Falcon car’s, new styling, McLaughlin said that “new front end sheet metal for; 1962 provides greater horizontal thrust and cleanliness of design.” The new full-width grille is of a modified convex shape and the new front fenders raise slightly in the nose area. Parking lights have been relocated in the front bumper and a chrome-plated air scoop has been added to the hood. The air scoop gives the appear ance of greater height. ENGINES , The standard engine for all Falcon models, except the Club wagon, is an improved version of the six-cylinder, 85 horsepower en gine that in 1961 recorded the i greatest gas mileage ever achiev ed for any “6” or “8” in the 25- year history of the Mobilgas Ec- | onomy Run. Both this 144 cubic inch power plant, and the optional 170 cubic inch, 101 horspower engine, have a new, redesigned carburetor that provides quicker cold starts, more efficient warm-ups and smoother idling. Also, a new choke control allows more precise adjustment. McLaughlin cited the following important engineering improve ments for 1962: Factory-installed engine coolant down to 35 degrees below zero and with a change interval of 30,000 miles or two full years. A recommended oil change inter val of 6,000 miles on the Falcon car. A new extended-life fuel filter, which serves for 30,000 miles be fore replacement. Front-wheel bearings now to go to 12,000 miles between lubrica tions. Internal parts of Falcon door locks are plated to prevent corro sion and a special lubricant pre vents freezing. Falcon body contains 50 per cent more insulation for greatly increased quietness of operation. Parking brake conduit is nylon lined, reducing effort necessary to apply and release parking brake. Also, parking brake cable is lub ricated for life. A new standard transmission interlock mechanism prevents dri vers from “clashing the gears.” Newberry No. 1 Outside Dan Fay Wells to Newberry than its 1961 counterpart, but has more interior room and more ma neuverability. The new design also increases performance and econ omy. In Darts with the standard V-8 engine and automatic trans mission, for example, acceleration from 0 to 60 miles an hour is in creased by approximately 7 per cent and gasoline economy about the same percentage. by nix. These cars are priced compet itively model for model with Ply mouth, Ford and Chevrolet. An improved, easy-to-turn man ual steering and a redesigned and more durable automatic transmis sion head a long list of engineer ing advances. The automatic trans mission for V-8 models is smaller and 59 pounds lighter. Both the automatic and manual transmis sions contribute to increase in economy and acceleration.

The adjusters are built into each wheel and operate automatically during reverse stops. Dodge ' 62 also has larger, more powerful brakes. Dodge has a new heating and ventilating system that provides fresh air to passengers even when the car is stopped or moving slow ly. It uses an axial blower, the first in the automobile industry. This blower directs cool air in the summer and hot air in the winter to every section of the passenger compartment. The 62 Dodge has a new “air craft-type” starter that is small er and five pounds lighter than the previous unit. It provides quicker turnover in cold weather and uses less electrical current. Other electrical improvements contribute to. easier mail, ^nance. Among them is a household type fuse box in which each fuse sock signing the transmission and oth- i serves. Dodge’s smooth-riding suspen sion his been further improved. Fully-integrated all-welded body construction gives Dodge a solid vibration-free body. The front end again features Dodge’s famed tor sion-bar suspension. Its compon ents have been redesigned to fur ther reduce road vibration. Rear- end suspension and shock absorb ers have been ihiproved to provide easier hahdlih& when cornering. New mountings and insulation techniques provide increased iso lation of engine noise and vibra tion. The 1962 Dart provides a choice of four engines. The standard pow- (er plants are a 145-horsepower, 225-cubic-inch “Slant Six” and a 230-horsepower, 318-cubic-inch V- 8 which give excellent performance and economy on regular grades of gasoline. Two extra-performance engines are optional: a 260-horsepower, 318-cubic-inch V-8 with foufr bar rel carburetor and dual exhausts; and a 305-horsepower, 361-cubic- inch V-8 with special camshaft, four-barrel carburetor and dual exhausts. A sleek new addition to Dodge’s compact Lancer line for 1962 is a prestige sports model called the ‘Gran Turismo.” The GT, a two- door hardtop, has distinctive ex terior styling and a luxurious all vinyl • • interior which features bucket seats. The GT represents an effective; blending of both economy and distinctiveness. 'The Lanc&r line also includes - two-door and four-door sedans and a four-door station wagon in both the low- price “170” series an dthe deluxe “770” series. *• ' Two engines are again available j to Lancer buyers: the standard j 101-horsepower inclined six-cylin der power plant and an optional 145-horsepower “six” of similar design. The latter engine provides performance comparable to some V-8’s and is remarkably easy to steer and handle. The Polara “500” is a high-per formance, high-styled luxury sports car. It provides both lux urious appointments and top- notch performance. Its elegant in terior features individual bucket seats in front with a between-aeats console. The Polara is powered by a special, high-performance engine with a high-lift camshaft, a four- barrel carburetor and dual ex hausts as standard equipment. This engine has 305 horsepower and a displacement of 361-cubic- inches, and* gives the Polara ex ceptional smoothness, acceleration, and passing power. Design improvements have been made in all the new Dodges for 1962 from roof to wheels and bumper. They all combine to give the new Dodge added endurance, peppier performance, more econ omy, greater ease of handling, and increased passenger comfort. m The Annual Fall Rally for Brownies and Girl Scouts is to be held Friday, September 29 in the park behind the.
