I have been going to car shows and car events since the late 1950's. I was looking at some pictures of shows posted here and saw a 1962 Buick. This got me thinking, you hardly ever see a 1962 Buick. Not at shows, on the streets, or hardly even in car mags, new or old ones. You see 61's but not 62's. Why is that?
Here was a 62 ragtop that was posted at AACA from a CL ad. http://forums.aaca.org/topic/307017-62-electra-convertible-not-mine/?tab=comments#comment-1716345
I saw one on my way home this evening in the opposing lane in rural Clark County, WA. It was a nice looking white more-door, not sure of the model.
I don't think it's much different than any old car from that era. There's just fewer and fewer of them around.
