I went back to the thread "Chrysler Airflow aero-modded",permalink#1.There's a 3-view image of what they morphed onto the DeSoto Airflow test-mule.
The Cd dropped from around 0.51,to 0.244.
This is where my brain is right now with respect to the VW,since the Bug is quite similar to the Airflow.
If the rear fenders do not enclose the wheels they can be a bit more narrow and integrate easier into the stinger.
I'll keep turning it over in my mind.
