New to the list, and just bought my first 1962 Dodge Polara 500. What is a
fratzog? I have never heard that term before.

The fratzog started in 63, but I have seen some 62's with it in the
dash pod. The 62 dodge letters are on ebay now, if you want a DETAILED
image of the hood letters of a 62 let me know I can forward them to
your personal email. The images I have are from a Moser restoration.
