Hello All,

Comparing a '51 Hornet coupe to a '51 Pacemaker Coupe, where is the 6" from the wheelbase lost on the Pacemaker ? The quarter panels, front fenders, or the doors. I have been studying pics, but can't find two suitable side shots for a proper comparison.

Thanks,

Dave W.

Between the front wheels and the cowl. or fire wall.

The actual difference in wheelbase is four inches. Hornet is 124" and the Pacemaker is 120". Literature states 119" on Pacemaker, however they were spliting hairs due to the 1/16" increments they measured

Actually the fenders are shorter in front of the front wheels also.
