The dimensional differences of modern cars are striking. You'd need to make a 6:5 larger scale model of the original car in many cases. Or worse, if you've ever seen a classic Mini next to a modern Mini.
(yes, I will admit that a lot of that is for crash safety, but not all of it)

I think the modern Scout remake is a decent example of this... another would be the Challenger, which is not original dimensions at all, but absolutely can recognize the inspiration of the more modern incarnation. With maybe 3-4 base boards, you could do many dozens of different frames and shells. It could be an interesting opportunity for one company to mfg and sell a lot of boards, where smaller coach builders can do the bodies... akin to luxury cars a bit over a century ago.
