The clearance between the smoke stream and the windshield is a function of the original height of the smoke stream, not the body shape. To improve the appearance for advertising, the photographer can eliminate smoke that is showing the turbulence of a convertible, showing only higher streamlines. Also, long exposures will smear a lot of wiggles that would show up with tuft testing.
