Ford Probe IV used an inner cycle fender with a flexible fabric outer.

Quote:
One of Probe IV's most distinctive features are its fully-skirted wheels and tires which utilize membranes between the outer covers and the body. The membranes flex when the front wheels are turned and allow Probe IV to be driven normally, but drastically reduce wheel well turbulence and resulting aero drag.
Journalists, amirite?
