To get the other extreme I used the same curve as one of the 1930s German vehicles on the
aerocivic site. Clearly it suited their car better and that annoying faring at the top of my window makes things much worse. It would add 45" to my car's length, for a total of 17'. Still doable, but starting to get long. I figure I've now bracketed the answer, which is a start.
