Description
Chevrolet enjoyed a banner year in 1962. The celebration of that golden anniversary year not only saw strong sales, but Chevrolet witnessed wildly popular acceptance of the newly introduced 409ci engine. Only a handful of 409 cars had been built for the ’61 model year. It would be another year before the 409 engine became readily available. Chevy legend Doug Marion reports that 15,019 W-series 409 engines were built at the Tonawanda Engine Plant for the ’62 model year. Of those engines, 8,909 were installed in new cars on the assembly line. The remaining 6,110 409 engines were sold at dealerships as crate motors or service replacements.
