If you can find a Mercedes Benz 190 from the 1980s,it would serve as a wind tunnel tested example of a proper notchback boat tail,as is mentioned by Hucho.I saw one yesterday here in Denton.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
