does a noun phrase followed by a 'which' or 'where' clause form another noun phrase?

example 1:

*The fast car which fly's

In this case, does 'The fast car which fly's' form a noun phase?

My intuition tells me 'yes', because it can be followed by a main verb

example 2:

nice houses where constructed

Why do you have a possessive 's' after fly? – marcellothearcane Sep 29 '19 at 11:30
@marcellothearcane No reason, coudnt think of a better example. – John Sep 29 '19 at 12:16
Yes, it forms a noun phrase. (It doesn't form another noun phrase, however. There is only one noun phrase there.) – Greg Lee Sep 29 '19 at 14:38

Both your examples are meaningless as written. Presumably you mean that the car flies. – Kate Bunting Sep 29 '19 at 14:43
