Were early A bodies built better than the 67-76 models?

I have a 62 Valiant,a 72 Dart, and a 74 Dart Sport and they all have high and low points example 62 Val. last and one year only, 72 Dart one year only grille non flush side markers, 73 and later mucho cheap plastic interior panels.What you like,year, model, make, will tell you what is good or bad.
