If you'll be doing a tail it's extremely important to have the best quality airflow getting to it.
Looking at your photos,it looks like a rocker panel cleanup,flush with the outside of the tires and a full rear wheel skirt would help.
'basjoosing' the front wheel openings as on the AeroCivic would be good.
As to the tail itself,a receiver-style trailer hitch is a great way to go.You can already purchase sturdy,lightweight cargo carriers which just slide into and pin to the hitch,which becomes a perfect platform from which to fashion the tail.
A trailer light kit, electric umbilical ,and license plate relocate complete your legal requirements and safety.
If you want to go extreme,a trailer will allow a canoe full of savings.Parking challenges will reserve this one exclusively for the longer forays out to Wally World.
