Possibly a competitive thing - GM was doing the same with all models except Chevs at the time.

Why did Chrysler decide to produce the smaller wheelbase

in 1957 for the low price model lines?

57 Windsor --- 122"

57 Sara, NYr, 300 --- 126"

Chrysler continued that practice up to 63 when

everything went 122". 

Seems like a lot of work -- 

you need unique fenders, hood, 

sub frame.......

pretty good chunk of tooling expense for 

your economy priced car.

Beats me.
