is pleasing but still a bit busy, to my eye. So I did a couple of photo edits and share the results.
As found:
Mildly dechromed:
Changed to a hardtop:
Your comments, as always, are welcome.
Do you prefer one, over the others?
Enjoy!

Love it. My first car was a '46 Plymouth - that model. First time I've seen it with wire wheels and as a hardtop. I like it. I customized mine too. Looks a lot like the one in the first picture.
Okay. Maybe not.

@kocour: Frank, you may also like this basic, mild custom Plymouth coupe.

I prefer the stock look on this car but do like your 3rd rendition. This particular car imho is one that really suits a restomod application; especially if the interior can be left as stock looking as possible (style remains but with more modern material used). A suspension upgrade, 383 engine/drive train and conservative wheels would be a great transition for this car.

@kocour: did a nice job on nosing the hood, Frank. I'd have driven it, in the day!

@tldaly LOL. Here's the story behind the customization of my '46 Plymouth. It's not what you think.
When I was at a buddies house I parked my car in his yard and had to leave it there for a bit. While I was gone he decided to bull nose the hood. So, he ripped off all of the chrome and bent it in the process. Not realizing that the hood was a two-part piece with a seam down the middle he improvised and covered the seam with black electrician's tape. Looked great in pictures and from a distance.
