Dream Car Giveaway

 

Series 62 models had full-length chrome underscores on the rocker panels, rear fender skirts and lower rear quarters. The sedan had a conventional backlight (i.e., rear window) and featured rear ventipanes. A new Coupe DeVille script was seen on the rear roof pillar of this model which, like the convertible, was an exclusive Series 62 offering. The script clearly distinguished the more luxurious DeVille from the plainer club coupe, a distinction not emphasized in 1950. Hydra-Matic drive was regular equipment on all models (with a new type dial) and power windows were standard on the convertible and Coupe DeVille.
