Here´s a nice view of a 1964 Saab 96 "shortnose":

The car I´m building will look like it´s based on a 1964 "shortnose" but it´s actually based on a 1974 V4, and so are the photoshopped images I posted earlier. I find the "shortnose" way more attractive than the later models from 1965 on, and I believe the shortnose is also slightly more aerodynamic.
A problem with the shortnose is that the front actually ends abruptly where it meets the bumper. If you remove the bumper there will be nothing but an ugly hole behind it. The shortnose "chin" is also sharp and ugly, even worse than the later "longnose" V4.
On the other hand, this leaves a great opportunity for some creativity!
