What an awesome response. I was wondering about this a little the other day when I was thinking about taking a pic of an old Model T rolling down the street in front of me. I wondered, are there "aero" features? No, not in the sense we think of it, which it really about reducing Cd and CdA while avoiding lift. But then I thought, that's drag reduction. In reality all bodies in motion have "aerodynamics" and are in some sense "aerodynamic". So any features of a Model T exposed to the fluid dynamics of the aemosphere are "aerodynamic" features, and any that reduce drag over what Ford might have done or did do previously are "aero" in the sense we discuss it, even if they're not ideally aero. Still, I skipped taking the pic and just admired the car, which was the first car my grandfather ever owned.
