Plymouth downsized its full size cars for 1962 to more compact dimensions, which hurt sales at a time when buyers thought bigger was better, though owners liked the smaller car in daily use. The 1963 and 1964 models kept the unibody platform and were restyled longer and wider. The 1964 slant back roofline proved popular, and the Belvedere introduced the 426 Hemi engine, which took the first three places at the 1964 Daytona race. Its model years run from 1962 to 1964.
