I'd be very careful about a teardrop shaped body. Most create a lot of rotating turbulence unless the rear angle is only about 15 degrees. For older standard body shapes the best body is... and its hard to believe... a station wagon. The drag of the rotating turbulence is greater than the big drag at the back of a wagon. This is based on the aero book by Hucho. This is why some many cars are not bustle backs.
