The wing on your Insight, derived from an Abbott and Von Doenhoff 'template', that's okay, however an entire vehicle body, like a Douglas DC-3, or Hindenburg, derived from a 'template' is out-of-bounds?
Intellectual depth as can only be explored with a tunneling microscope.
I hope for the sake of creation that you haven't hired an architect for any help on your shop construction.

A rear spoiler can reduce drag, especially on a fastback shape. I wouldn't call it 'miraculous' - but you can if you wish.
Separation edges can reduce drag. Whether you think that occurs on 'run of the mill' passenger cars is up to you.
An airship is a good example of a low drag shape, yes.
No I haven't needed an architect - the shed comes fully engineered.
