I stopped by the Lemay Museum in Tacoma again this past weekend, and noticed some interesting aerodynamic features:



Nice solid wheel, not on a car you would expect:



How about this radiator shroud?



1954 Lincoln Capri!

1986 Owasso Pulse, claimed 100 mpg:



And, the Jetta Hybrid LSR car:



The class it ran does not allow modifications to the body, so no airdam, spoiler, or grill blocks:



But it still managed a 187-mph run on 300hp+electric motor. VW claims Cd .28 for the stock hybrid, but I can't find a number for this car.
