1962 Plymouth. Oh man, they mutilated a 2-door hardtop. They are soooo rare! |

No, it's a 1962 Plymouth. 100% positive. |

'62 Plymouth is right. Savoy is the model. |

How can you tell it's a Savoy? All identifying marks have been removed. The only thing we can say for sure is that it WAS a 1962 Plymouth 2-door hardtop. Now I would call it a made for movie 1962 Plymough custom. |

I thought the Plymouth Savoy and Plaza were Plymouth's full-size sedans? And the Fury and Belvedere it's mid-size coupes and sedans? So, this strikes me as more of a Belvedere or Fury. |

In 1962 things were a tad different at Chrysler Corp. The full-size Plymouths and Dodges were radically downsized following a wrong marketing decision. Apart from the compact Valiant, Plymouth had three 'full-size' models for 1962: Belvedere, Savoy and Fury. All shared the same body. Belvederes rode on a 115 inch wheelbase, Savoy and Fury on a 116 inch. Add the controversial Exner-inspired styling and you know why sales plummeted badly. That makes it so hard to find these cars nowadays. But due to their light weight, you can build veritable supercars out of them. |

It hurts to look at this car, these things are like finding chicken lips laying around a farm, Im tempted to say it looks more like a Belvedere, than a Fury. |

@ Junkman This all seems to be right what you have written. But I still believe this car is/was a Savoy. The thing what strikes me the most is that the car above has no "panorama" rear window, if you know what I mean. Perhaps it is cut off. Here some links for the "Savoy" proof: www.cars-on-line.com/20951.html http://moparsbymosher.com/moshercollection/the_mosher_collection.htm Link to "loti.com" I may be wrong, if so, please explain. |

There were no Savoy two-door hardtops in '62, only pillared sedans. |
