Class Structure
The largest change was cosmetic. The bigger cars moved down the alphabet, the smaller cars moved into classes A and B. The Volkswagens moved into class A. Ford Falcons disappeared from the race, replaced by an influx of smaller, more versatile Ford Cortinas. Like in 1962 the Fords were the biggest threat, shaping up to be faster than the Chrysler Valiants and Studebaker Larks of the larger D Class cars.

Famous quotes containing the words class and/or structure:
“Money couldn’t buy friends, but you got a better class of enemy.”
—Spike Milligan (b. 1918)
“The structure was designed by an old sea captain who believed that the world would end in a flood. He built a home in the traditional shape of the Ark, inverted, with the roof forming the hull of the proposed vessel. The builder expected that the deluge would cause the house to topple and then reverse itself, floating away on its roof until it should land on some new Ararat.”
—For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
