this body style was quite comming in the 70's and 80's and you frequently see these cars have spoilers installed below the windshield to reduce the size of the vortex... usually the Cd numbers of car with and without the spoiler are vastly appart .

Who remembers that car as aerodynamic? It's like a Cherokee, but with a sloped back.. Actually the windshield is more vertical than a Cherokee's
