Yes, probably the springs have worn over time and that is why you have the lower ride heighth. Unless someone has intentionally lowered it, hard to tell. Does it look like a tail dragger?

I agree with Dan, years ago I bought some aftermarket springs for my 1971 Cutlass Supreme. They were suppose to provide a 1" lower ride height than the stock springs. When I put them in they raised the nose over 1" due to the factory springs sagging. I would change the springs first and see if that raises it to what you want. John

new springs

I just got a 71 cutlass conv. It sat pretty low in the front and I liked that. But I decided to rebuild the front suspusion and steering, I put new springs and shocks all factory replacement parts, now the car sits way too high ( for me) I guess that was the stock height. Your springs are probable just worn out.
