And obviously, Cd is CdA/A. So, how tall is the vehicle? I presume it's still 62" wide.
Neil, would you pass my questions along to Mr. Cloud?

Yes, I can email him; and/or he may be reading this thread. I can measure the frontal area very accurately with a straight-on front photograph, with a yardstick positioned at the tallest point of the car. I'll ask him for that, too.
