Does that cat-shaped bus have a mid-mounted steering wheel instead of either left-hand or right-hand???

A few days ago I saw a Tatraplan for the first time at a local car show. Still impressive for a 1950 model.

I've speculated in the past about the aerodynamic drag of a dog's head out an open window, but this....
Poor car needs helper springs on the shotgun side.

Most likely the breed of the dog would affect the result. Maybe a Whippet could actually improve aerodynamics?  |

Well done.
Obvs. VW chassis; aft tapered, not truncated.
This would fit the VW Finally thread or razordave's TDI thread.
