The full-sized Impala, Bel Air and Biscayne received a new outer shell in 1962. Many regard the '62 line as some of the finest in Detroit Automotive history, with a clean, important look the '62 is favored among collectors today. Also new for '62 was the news that Chevy dropped the 348 V8 and focused on the 327 V8. Sales soared as production consisted of over 700,000 Impalas, 365,000 Bel Airs and 160, Biscayne models produced.
Fifth generation (1961–1964)
For 1962, all sheetmetal except the door panels was changed. Overall length was stretched slightly to 209.6 in (5,320 mm). The 4-door Sport Hardtop was no longer offered in the Bel Air series. Standard engines remained the same as the previous year. A new 327 cu in (5,360 cc) V8 of 250 or 300 hp (220 kW) was offered in addition to the giant (for the time) 409 cu in (6,700 cc) V8 of 380 hp (280 kW) or 409 hp (305 kW) with the dual four-barrel carburetor setup. All wagons this year were 4-door models and separate distinctions for wagons were dropped. Now all models were either Biscayne, Bel Air or Impala series. Full carpeting returned as standard equipment on all 1962 Bel Air models for the first time in several years.
