I am not sure is this egg-car is aerodynamic or not as the devil is in the details regarding the rear wheels and any undercarriage or suspension. If I recall Aerohead's dirigible/blimp diagrams it's shape is way better than a sphere or wheel/cylinder in any case.

It looks more Dean Jeffries than George Barris or Ed Roth (Big Daddy) but anyone could of designed and built it.

Some modifications to the Goldfish and it could be made aerodynamic I suspect. Remove the tail and sunglasses for starters.
