True beauty is inner and timeless.

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.

This on is titled “The Mork Egg Machine”. No further info available or needed.
All other links doing an reverse image search are Pinterest, and those provide no more information from what I can tell.

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.
