Esquireman makes a very interesting proposal. The car would have needed to be perfect... no hick-ups with anything - engineering, quality, craftsmanship, styling. Nothing. The '58 hardtop coupe might have been the only viable starting point. 2-door and 4-door hardtops and a convertible. No body insert between the front and rear doors on the 4-dr hardtops. Front and rear styling that said "wow".

On the mgmt comments, were Nance to have ultimately led AMC rather than Romney, AMC might not have seen the 60s. Why? Because everything automotive that Nance touched turned to rust. A fine man, I am sure, and a good banker. But not a car guy.
