Nice car. Actually you were pretty close the first time. The Bonneville is 217" bumper to bumper on a 123" wheelbase. The Catalina is 210" bumper to bumper on a 119" wheelbase. As you said the length is in the trunk lid and the panel between the rear glass and the trunk lid. 7" length is a lot of difference !
