Chrysler was heavy into aerodynamic drag reduction by the 1920s.
There is a chance that they actually tested models of the Dart.Don't know.
If you arbitrarily did just a partial roof extension,it might cause the air to overshoot the trunklid.Don't know.Kamm did full extension out to the rear of the trunklid.Nothing 'halfway.'
I'm gonna give you the stuff on the Cd 0.28 Dodge Daytona.You should also check out George Poteet's Cd 0.20 1969 Baracuda 'Blowfish',Bonneville land speed record attempt car's roofline and serving tray spoiler.
Here is Chrysler's Cd 0.244 DeSoto Airflow test mule of 1934
Here is the 1967 Lotus Europa,Cd 0.29.It has a high boot,and the tail extends out into 'Template' territory,with good reattachment and small locked-vortex.
