WHY? Spiral Car Truck Antenna

I was in the market for a new car antenna and noticed these new spiral antennas. I know a 31 inch antenna is 1/4 wave length for 100mhz FM. What is this extra spiral for? I did some research, its for wind resistance and noise. Shorty antennas usually have an internal spiral or something that leads to a 1/4 wave length 31 inches inside.
