It's not clear which images you searched for but here are a few.

It's apparent a lot of the cars have functional spoilers. The dust in the wake is not making its way to the rear window, which suggests the airflow is strong there, and not eddying so much as i'd expect. Does this mean the spoiler is pushing the flow back into its "ideal" profile?

Capri


Some sort of streamliner


Barracuda


XKE(?) bodied streamliner


Model A


Chevy Monza


Americamaro


'52 ish Ford?
