Just how effective were those  ducts that had outlets at the base of the rear
window on altered or comp coupes ?   I've seen them on LSR  versions of the 
Robert 
Bourke( he worked at the Raymond Loewy Design Studio ) -  designed Studebaker
coupes that were introduced in 1953.  Being quite  'superslick' they soon 
became  
popular in land speed racing . Were they worth the effort of the  cutting and 
ducting 
the airflow to that low pressure area ?
      List member Studie owners ???  ..... from Montana, Guam, or anywhere 
else ?
