Is it the artistic license that makes the car look more like a Big Seven?

No, it's just the way it was, lots of Austin's advertising pictures 'stretched reality'. The image is inverted right to left to get over the limitations imposed by putting on the Santa. The images below show reality V advertising - how about the Twelve-sized A7 saloon? That was 'stretching' it just a bit.
