The 21st model S-P-2-H-43 built. Do not (yet) have figures for 6 and V8 SP-H-43 models, but a total of 327 Fury 4 door hardtops were built in Canada for 1962. Also appears to have been built very early in the model year, so you probably have just a single taillight on each side of the car on the rear, along with a backup light.
The dual taillights came in the new year along with the option of bucket seats (from the Polara 500) and the SportSweep option (also from the Polara 500). The bucket seats were available on Fury and Dart 440 sedans and hardtops while the Sportsweep was on Fury, Belvedere, Dart 440 and Dart 330 sedans and hardtops.
