It’s not clear what you are trying to do. The streamline looks like it is over the car in the image you shared.

I don’t know the OpenFoam reader, but the line `case.MeshRegions = ['patch/corvette_body']` makes me think you might only be loading 2d results on the car body instead of the 3d flow around the car.
