I'll suggest that it's what I call a pushme-pullyou, one car built from 
two.  I had a '63 coupe 20+ years ago that was a Monza from the front 
bumper to the B-pillar and a 500 from there on back.  VERY nicely done, I 
really had to hunt to find evidence of the seam.  It was done where both 
cars were close to new, so the value was worth the effort.  Odd thing was, 
both cars were black with a red interior, so the resulting car was black 
with a red Monza front seat and door panels and a red 500 rear seat and 
door panels.

It was a great-running and good-looking car.

Also, in my local club a member restored a '62 convertible, then one of his 
daughter's friends crashed it hard.  He rebuilt it using the front of a '61 
coupe.  Again, very nicely done, but these Frankencars are out there.
