BTW that where the First 62 lite weight Fords showed up ther were ten of those but they had fiberglass hood, fenders, doors and decklids they also had Alum bumpers.
Zintmaster Chey in Kokomo, Ind had a Z-11 Impala it has been in several Mags over the years. It was White

So there were Z11s in 62? Or just the aluminum? I wonder who needed the most help. My impression is that the Fords were heavier than the Chevys but I'm just guessing.
