What a great thread! I have always been curious as to what caused certain changes in the SVZ design. Personally I think the SVZ's were far nicer looking than the later SZ. My main area of interest is in the shape of the rear of the car. Without knowing what the different shapes are called I will refer to certain design cues as the name. For example:The cars with the Lancia aurelia looking rear window (for lack of a better name) are the nicest looking and seem to have the most cohesive shape. Any idea why they changed to the later rear shape? I have often wondered if they had stuck with the Aurelia window rear shape would the later streched out SZ(coda tronca) have been neccesary? Here is an example of the Aurelia window rear I am refering to. Keep in mind I am speaking about the entire rear of the car not just the shape of the window.
