It would appear that the 1960 Ford Starliner was wider
than a Cadillac by 1.3" - Happy now?

....................................WB........Length.....Width
1960 Ford Starliner.........119".......213.7".....81.5"
1960 Chevrolet Impala....119".......210.8".....79.9"
1960 Pontiac Bonneville...122".......220.7".....79.6"
1960 Plymouth Fury........118".......209.5".....78.8"
1960 Cadillac Sixty Two...130".......225"........80.2"

So sorry to have confused wheelbase with width...

However, try as I might, I couldn't find anything on what
state would deem the 1960 Ford Starliner illegal for road
use, so my question to you, is what state(s)?
