looks rather more like a hot rod, I wonder what its drag is like, I'd have thought, if it had a roof would be quite efficient. I suspect those
are wheel spats taken off aircraft

I'm not sure about that - it has a 702 cubic inch (11 Litre) V12 so I expect it has plenty of go too

I think it's a very customized Auburn, going by the shape

no, I was referring to the effectiveness of the "streamlined" shape.
that style goes back to 1930s? before people really understood aerodynamics.
I bet there are modern cars with much lower drag that do not posses any raindrop shaped parts - hence the show part.

teardrop shapes are the way to go for a car that looks like its moving when stationary, all good aircraft are designed like that
never understood why a car should look like a box on wheels, and yes I do own a boxbird...but I have a beetle too
