My choice is the 1949 Nash 600 sedan, great flowing lines, and if you put it on the ground the wheels are almost completely covered. Big frontal area though and ditch the sun visor.

As the former owner of a '49 Studebaker, I can tell you they don't handle well in the wind. And here in Kansas, we have a lot of wind. It wobbled if heading into the wind, leaned over if the wind was from the side, and handled best with the wind at the rear. So I suggest you drive it backwards for best performance.
Just hire Freud to drive and all is good.  |

If in doubt, it probably IS a mistake.

I'd be tempted to keep the visor, but set it up with Dzus fasteners - it will keep the passenger compartment cooler while you're waiting in line, and just throw it in the push vehicle before you make the run. "Keep your stick on the ice." |

Since this is on Aero,, and the mention of 39 Chevys and 40 Ford Coupes,,,one thing is frontal, but remember, what happens to the wind as it passes over and under said shape. At about 140 thoes wonderful trunks become a airfoils and start lifting.
