'62 FC Standard Equipment, Tires, Options, Prices, and Colors
Chevrolet issued equipment and pricing updates periodically throughout the model year.
The info on this page (except the color chart) was taken
from an update dated March 1, 1962 and was provided by Dave Newell. Use this information to assemble
your "dream FC" or just to drool at the reasonable prices (by today's
standards)!

* Base discount is 21% with the 2% difference retained for dealer's account in
accordance with Dealer Price List.
** Manufacturer's's Suggested Retail Price does not include state and local taxes,

The Destination Charge and Total columns are blank because the destination charge (and

Two-tone combinations: Cameo White is used as second color except when the main color
is Cameo White or Pure White, then Cardinal Red is used as the second color.
The names of the colors in the table above are not very descriptive. Fortunately, I
have the color chip chart for 1962 Chevy trucks and
have scanned it in for your reference. The colors in this scanned and compressed image are
only approximate!

Interior Paint and Upholstery Schemes
The information below was taken from the 1962 Chevrolet
Truck Data Book (dated August 1, 1961) and therefore applies to all models
except the Greenbrier. Click on an image to see the full-sized version. The left
image is for the standard trim level; the right is for the custom or "deluxe"
trim level.
There are some subtle differences between the standard and
deluxe interiors so be sure to look closely! Unfortunately, I have not been able
to confirm the paint code for the dull silver color used on the instrument
cluster & glove box door. (I checked with
Dave Newell and even he didn't have the code!) The other interior paint
codes are listed in the table above (Fawn and Cameo White). |
