I think that your original design looks the best regardless of wheelbase and the Caribbean trim should be left to that exclusive model. I’m not too keen on the minimalist 1953 Caribbean style either (not that I would turn one down if offered!) as it too is better on the Caribbean than on a 4-door of any sort.

Skirts or no skirts is another issue. If none, then it could have the moldings as found on the Constellation.

Ditch the 1952 hood ornament too as by 1954 it was too old school! The 1953-‘54 ornament looked good so let’s keep it.
