No　heads　will　turn　when　you　drive　a　62　Volkswagen　home.

(Maybe　an　eagle-eyed　neighbor　will　notice　that　we‘ve　made　the　tail　lights　a　little　bigger.　But　that’s　the　only　clue.)

Everything　is　right　where　we　left　it　in　61,　including　the　price:　$1595.

Inside　is　another　story.

Weve　put　all　our　time　and　effort　into　improvements　that　matter.

The62　VW　runs　more　quietly.　There　are　new　clutch　and　brake　cables　(as　well　as　new　steering　parts)　that　never　need　maintenance.　Heater　outlets　front　and　rear　for　more　even　heating.Easier　braking.

And　24　more.

One　change　is　literally　a　gasser.

Weve　added　a　gas　gouge.　Our　first.

A　few　die-hards　may　think　we‘ve　stolen　some　of　the　VW’s　sporting　flavor.　But　the　gas　gouge　may　be　more　useful　than　you‘d　imagine.　It　will　not　only　tell　you　whether　your　tank　is　E　or　F,　it　will　prove　you’re　driving　a62.

It　could　make　1962　go　down　in　VW　history　as　the　year　of　the　big　change.
