If they really wanted to get the younger crowd I would think they would use the Caribbean rear end, e.g. ditch the fender skirts, especially the 1953 version with the full wheel cutouts, which all in all looks a lot better than the 1954. Basically a 4-door Caribbean hard-top.

With the high beltline it would seem they could engineer a rear door window that would roll down all the way without the vent-wings, which I think is the point in question.

But I don't know what they really could have done in 1954 to attract more customers without a V8.
