If they follow the predominant airflow, wouldn't they be vortex generators in crossflow conditions.?
If you can carve away the body, airflow can be focused into a jet. My brain needs a better example than the 1959 Chevy.

Yes. My thoughts too about acting as VG in crossflow conditions.
A 1959 Chevy ?
The Impala, correct ? I can't find it now, but I saw a tuft test of that car.
Also, the Alfa Romeo BAT 7 car comes to mind.
