Commander 57 ◊ 2012-02-13 22:48	Why are we pinpointing this as a '62? Didn't the Marathon style front end first appear in '61? -- Last edit: 2012-02-13 22:49:00
maxman ◊ 2012-08-17 02:52	Was it the same from 1961 to 1962?
Commander 57 ◊ 2012-08-17 04:16	Since I posted my comment last February, I've been told that the dipped front bumper first appeared for m.y. 1962. (However, I have never seen a Checker with the Marathon front and a straight-across bumper.)
