PICS: A '60 Plymouth convertible, a polarizing model.......

that enjoys a love/hate relationship with car fans. It's a design that is just too busy, particularly from the front and seems disproportionate from front to back, given its relatively short body length and tall fins. Given my stated view, I spent a bit of time working the body shape, top height and wheelbase just to see what is.

As found:

Shorter wheelbase per J.Kuvakas:

I like the result. Do you?

Enjoy!

You're on to something but, to my eye, it's just a wee bit too much of a stretch.

Sorry Terry, but I don't like your fantasy version. I think the 60 Plymouth is just fine as is.

The 60 is one of my favorits. I had a 60 Fury and loved it.

Please look again, John, I've added a reduced-wheelbase photo.
