Interesting phrase should one do a Google image search.

Custom Citroën DS Coupés and a Peugeot Food Truck

Top one has a trunk so long as to act like a Bonneville style rear spoiler?

Bottom one does not follow the aero-template (I suspect) but like the EV1-Impact could prove to be slippery Cd wise.

EDIT:

This is just cool.

Again, I wonder if the long trunk approaches the template.

Chapron switched his attention to the recently launched Citroën DS. Chapron’s first rebodied DS coupe was the 1958 Le Paris. [2] At first, Chapron purchased these vehicles and customised them as one-off creations. Many of these became unique convertible variants. His DS convertible caused a sensation at the 1958 Motor Show. Citroën managers came to see him in Levallois to offer him a production agreement. For 2 years, the Chapron and Citroën teams work hand in hand in order to strengthen the safety standards on the car and to minimize the cost of production. On the basis of a design by DS designer Flaminio Bertoni, Chapron developed a two-door convertible body that was sold through the Citroën dealer network. The Series convertible was presented at the 1960 Paris Motor Show.
