It has a variety of interchangeable body parts. http://www.google.com/search?q=toyota+camette
This one is the Kubelwagen style. The bare chassis looks like an Ariel Atom.

The Silvercup Rocket not only set the bar for future traveling promotional rockets, it was built better than most of them as well. Custom crafted in the truck workshops of Detroit-based Gordon Baking Company, the tubular trailer was packed with electronics to impress visitors – an estimated 100,000 of whom checked out the rocket at the 1954 Michigan State Fair...

Here's an interesting aerodynamic (hybrid) car:

Ah, the tyranny of The Template. IMHO you're using it backward.
It's a Kamm-back. And the Highlander Hybrid/Lexus SUV drivetrain is reversed, anyway.
