here's a few examples of car wich more or less cut off rear arches... most have pretty great aero for their age
1986 opel omega 0.28 Cd (one of my favourites)
1984 opel kadett (later rebadged daewoo nexia and pontiac lemans) 0.32 Cd |
The wheels arches on the Vauxhalls / Opels also had the propensity to attract the dreaded Tin worm. I suppose this is a form of weight reduction so not all bad
The Citroens were galvanised so didn't suffer in the same way.
