Great work! I was going to ask if there is any specific reason you stopped at 1976, but I see from your About page that you plan to go further. I reckon that Italian car design peaked in the mid-80s, so it would be cool to reach 1990 or so. Afterwards there were some interesting designs in mass-produced cars but the top range is fairly bland (with Lambos just being Lambos).
Yes exactly, Italian design studios peaked in the '60s. So there is still some really cool stuff in the '80s but starting from the '90s car companies start relying more on their in-house design teams and less on external design studios
