Thanks for posting that AeroHead.
I like the Rumpler as a good example of what you can do with an upright windshield.
With a plan taper, you can still get a good Cd.
I was thinking the other day of how that a Hummer could be redesigned to appear recognizable as a Hummer with its' trademark upright windshield, yet have excellent aerodynamics.
I did a sketch of what I had in mind and despite having a recognizable form, I think it could still be quite aerodynamic.

Phil, you are quite a good artist. If you feel up to it, would you consider sketching out a design like that yourself ?
