Absolutely, Steve. Front didn't need much to minimally Packardize it... rounded corners, removal of horizontal bar, Circle V perhaps gold anodized along with eggcrate grill.
Normally I advocate long axle-dash but in this case Teague might have thrown the car out of proportion given carryover rear overhang. Perhaps 120 instead of 122 inches was optimum wheelbase. With advanced tech like independent rear suspension, disc brakes, radial tires and maybe fuel injection might have been worthy competitor to Mercedes. Top tier interior for sure.
EDIT: updated image - gold circle, Pan Am style grill surround.
