Crown the nose to match the fenders and throw some period chrome bumpers back on, maybe add back the chrome rings around the headlights.

1971 Ford Torino Cobra with 460 Cubic Inch Big Block, 500+ HP..
1960 Dodge Matador
There were two versions of the all-new 1960 Dodge. The lower-priced Dart models with a 118-inch wheelbase were designed to compete with Chevrolet, Ford, and Plymouth. The larger and dramatically styled Matador and Polara models had a four-inch longer wheelbase and taller tailfins that flowed dramatically ahead of 'jet-pod' taillamps. It is, without question, one of the boldest expressions of designer Virgil Exner's 'Forward Look' styling.
This particular Matador showcases the rather astonishing changes made for 1960, notably the high-sweeping Astro rear window. The spacious interior is highlighted by a driver-centered instrument panel with a speedometer that allows outside light to shine through. Technological highlights include unitized body/frame construction, a 'Super Red-Ram' 361 cubic-inch V8 engine, a TorqueFlite automatic transmission with push-button controls, and a torsion-bar front suspension. While lower-priced Dart models were regarded as one of the 'success cars' of 1960, Matador sales did not meet expectations and the model was discontinued for 1961.
