Given my stated view, I spent a bit of time working the body shape, top height and wheelbase just to see what is.

I like the result. Do you?

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.
