I really like it. I can see echoes of the Volkhart-Sagitta bubble-top.

Nice find... 
Panhard Dynavia (1948)
Quote:
|
The “aviation” styling of the Dynavia’s droplet bodywork made waves when the prototype was presented by Panhard at the Paris Motor Show in 1948. The incredible aerodynamic body shape, with better properties even than today’s carefully profiled cars, meant that its consumption was startlingly low (less than 3.5 litres per 100 km (67.2 mpg)). The headlights are replaced at the front with a powerful central spotlight, used as a full beam light and fog light. The dipped beam lights were also an experimental design. Many of the innovations showcased on the Dynavia were reused for the Dyna Z1.

Imagine what it might be without that steel tube roll cage. Maybe a 1/2" thick polycarbonate bubble?

Walter Korff comes to the rescue! He actually tested this sort of thing, and enclosing the cockpit drops the car to in the neighborhood of Cd 0.20.
Boat-tailing, with non-knife-edge trailing surfaces yields Cd 0.16.
EX-181, and it's attention to knife-edges and wheel drag gives us the glimpse at Cd 0.12.
