Ok, my memory was not so bad....this is not Jaray's design but Kamm..of course..."Koenig-Fachsenfeld and Wunibald Kamm were also responsible for building a much smaller prototype in 1944. This compact coupe achieved a drag value of 0.314. (Link Removed) The airplane-like streamlined design features many innovations such as front wheel skirts and twin roof fins, but the car's aerodynamical efficiency was achieved by a radically cut off tail combined with the tapered body. These features helped to smooth the airflow behind the car. Because of its size, long hood, and truncated rear, this design could be thought as the forerunner of the Gremlin made by American Motors (AMC)."

I'd like a bit more development, you are essentially there though, a little digging is all that's required.
