The car is from Jaray's two body period. On can see that the greenhouse is purched on top of a sort or airfoil shape in profile view. The greenhouse is blunt oval in plan view and therefore, standing alone, a decent aero shape. Someone pointed out the abrupt transition between the two shapes causes turbulence but I don't remember where I read that, perhaps Hucho.

It is a very interesting early attempt.
