Good looking back ends?????
Of cars that is......
I'm designing a NARROW car. 3 feet tall. single tire in the rear. I can easily run a 20 degree angle on each side, and get down to a knife edge, which is the ultimate in aero, but looks goofy. Or, I can leave it "wide" and have a 10 inch wide flat back complete with overhang and make it look like a Prius. Must mount motorcycle license plate, brake lights and turn signal lights. What looks good? Suggestions? Stuff I can steal or copy? |
3' tall? :eek:
|
top of the car will be 42 to 44, depending.
but from the top it slopes down a bit as it heads back, so yes, 36 inches at the back. why? |
I was thinking it might be tough to the get ergos you seek in a 36" tall vehicle.

Make a narrow version of the Oldsmobile Aurora

Or how about the 300zx? Simple ovals mounted behind a flat sheet of Lexan and you've got it.

How about the Voisin, as I'm reading about just now

great ideas. very simple, yet looks good!
Others? |

overhead look
Do you have a plan view of your design? You can have as much as 22-degrees taper,but it's very important how you transition into it.
