I know this forum is cut off at 1961 but, Since the 62's are closely connected to the 61's I hope this topic will be OK here.
The Chrysler model lineup was altered for 1962. The Windsor was gone, and the non letter 300 arrived.
BUT!
Not in Canada...
Here in Canada, for some reason, the model lineup continued along as it had in 1960, and 1961. [in fact, the Windsor and Saratoga models continued right until 64 in Canada]
The entry level model was again, the Windsor, with a 361 2 barrel [painted red] engine, 1961 Dodge wheel covers, side trim that ends in the middle of the front doors, with a crown emblem on the door, right ahead of the trim.
Next model up was the Saratoga. Pretty much the same as the Windsor, but with a 383 2 barrel, a full length body moulding like the US Newport, additional chrome mouldings around the rear bumper, a fancier interior. [same upholstery as the US 300 sport I think]. The carryover 61 Dodge wheel covers were standard on the Saratoga too.
The New Yorker was essentially the same as the US model, as it was manufactured in the US factory, and imported to Canada.
The 300 Sports was not sold in Canada, but The 300H was available in Canada as an import.
From what I understand, the 1962 4 door hardtop Saratogas and New Yorkers all had the sky Hi back glass in Canada.
The Canadian Windsor and Saratoga had generators, but the New Yorker had an alternator.
Canadian built Mopars didn't get alternators until 1963.
Canadian built Chryslers still had wheel bolts in 1962, and wheels with the alignment pin holes.
All 1962 Chryslers built in Canada were automatics, as far as I know.
1962 Chryslers were very popular in Canada, partly because the Dodge 880's were not sold here, so if you wanted a full size Mopar, the Chrysler was the car.
