I'm curious about Julian Edgar's opinion as well.
I've been looking for a place to throw this in. Ignoring the cab overlap and open wheels, is this a reasonable solution for a pickup bed? Fences to prevent vortex generation and as a tropfenwagen style fender?

There's nothing about the vehicle embodying low-drag potential. About Cd 0.85 as she sits. 'Low-drag' begins around Cd 0.25. The Jaray body would give you 0.25. Hoerner did this with the 1935,Cd 0.85, DKW Meisterclass convertible,according to his own measurements.It would be a pickup with an aeroshell though.
