Those headlights! They're staring at me!
I don't have a picture of the front of this, but it was to have a perfect half-circular plywood front bumper that left a gap big enough for a spare tire, set lower than the typical above bumper mount.

I do find the Pony sort of charming, has a early video game character to it.
These cars probably have a grille block and smoother undercarriages than their original counterparts. Most likely a lower Cd too.

Even though I don't like EV retrofits into ancient cars, that Hyundai looks much better than some newer designs meant to resemble a spaceship more than a normal car.

Maybe this fits here, the car isn't particularly aerodynamic:
Just A Car Guy: this is something odd, the seats in this Graham Paige are not the normal full width back seat, and two similar front seats. This is an ‘Opera Coupe’, fixed driver’s seat with a storage compartment behind it, a foldin
The only interior I've read about that is similar would be the SS conversion to the VW Kommendeurswagen. It sat two on the left with a reclining seat on the right and a fold-out typing table under the glove box.

The "Grosser" Mercedes that were used by the heads of a certain German political party in the late 1930s through mid 1940s had a vaguely similar setup in the back; there was a platform that could be used as a desk or as a standing platform for reviewing the troops. (I just recently read "The Devil's Mercedes", a book about a couple of those cars that wound up coming to the US in the mid to late 40s.)
