Interesting! Thanks Ricard. Whenever I look at these penned proposals, I'm struck by the details that DIDN'T make it to the production line. In this case, the aft side moulding - what we have come to call a "butterknife" - looks more like a fountain pen in this drawing. What I wonder is WHO deemed that the "pen" wasn't THE desired look. Was it Stevens, whoever signed off on his work, or someone who decided tooling for the butterknife look was less expensive than the pen look?
As well, what we got in the end was a recolor of the wheelcover that had been in use since '59. Certainly THAT was a matter of costs. In any of these stylings/facelifts - SOMEONE has to say: OK - that's what we're going with.

I like the lower moulding treatment myself. Makes the car look lower & adds class. I dont care for the front end panel but from this angle the tail lamp housings look very much like what was adapted for 64.

I think the hubcaps look like an old TV test pattern
