Print the front picture out and do it manually
60"/12=5'. So, start with the width, and make 10 or 20 equally sized boxes (which will be 6 or 3 inches in scale, respectively). Measure these and make an equal vertical grid as well. You should end up with equally sized squares. If the majority of a square is inside the car, color it in. If the majority is outside, leave it. Count all the colored boxes and you'll have a rough approximation of the frontal area. (That will be easier if you don't have Photoshop or don't want to learn GIMP)
Here's your template
