I first saw this years ago on a TV show about Icelandic Land Cruisers that do glacier tours on giant low-pressure tires — they would do this out in the field with starter fluid and a lighter.

There were a number of streamliners in Germany in that era - many of the leaders in streamlining design were based in Germany in the '20s and '30s. The work by Paul Jaray is good to look up, as is the work of Wunibald Kamm or Edward Rumpler, if you want a particularly troubling personal story as well.

To know more about this era, I highly recommend reading "Grand Prix" by Marvano.

Their solution? A chrome bowtie with the center cut out. They call it the "flowtie," and while it seems like a simple and obvious answer, it's good enough to allow three additional cubic meters of air into the engine per minute.
