there should be a fratzog right in the middle of your gage panel? at least there is on mine, and most of the 62 Dodge Darts and Polaras I've seen. I know the fratzog was the hood orament on the 62 Polara 500. (been looking for one thats not the price of gold) and I think it was designed for the 62 model year also. and that canted Dodge type, I've seen, with the fratzog. so maybe it's fine to letter your 62 car with that, besides some of these cars wereraced right on up to the 70's wern't they? so you can cheat a little on the
exact year. (o: IMHO (o: Schuyler 62 Dodge Dart 440 wagon w/ Poly 318 <http://www.1962to1965mopar.ornocar.org/ml-wrobel62.html>FYI - I Do the Decal designs for the Poly head 318 and more! email me with your needs -

OK, bear with me. since my 62 dart maxie clone has such sunburned paint on it , i want to mess around with some period correct lettering. Some friends are giving me some funny looks , but its my car. MY REAL QUESTION IS: What was the official DODGE lettering style for 1962. We are all familiar with that slightly canted to the right lettering that u would see on Daytonas and superbirds flanks in the later sixties but i dont think it was used this early. another question: When did the FRATZOG come out??? theres no fratzog anywhere on my 62 dart, but i know they used the emblem on the 63 dodges, so am i correct in assuming the fratzog came out in 63?? I am looking through several of my books , and surfing the net, trying to study letterings of the period , but I have no ideas when the fotos actually were taken , they might be fotos from the 70s so they might have incorrect 70s style lettering on them. thanks neal zimmerman, eugene oregon
