You run out of room on the top front corner Again, you could move the rear of the car up and then yes I think you could I'm trying to keep it low , don't want to see top of the tire ..ugg

The pillar at the front of the cargo window slopes further forward. Late '65 the body changed over here. Your wagon would have been a Canadian AP6 over here with slight differences in trims, molds etc. They are a gorgeous car, sadly, the last one I had was a rust bucket so I parted it out. Alan Jones
