All of the early SAABs (the 92001 through the 96) are great-looking cars, even if their cD doesn't totally make it obvious that they were designed by aircraft designers.

Of course, the UrSAAB was designed by hand, on a drafting table, so that's important to bear in mind.

As Neil pointed out, Tatra (via Hans Ledwinka) apparently had quite the knack for aerodynamics even in the 1930s.
