At the beginning of the piece they mention that the models are from the 1970s,a time when Hucho,Jannsen,and Emmelmann were doing 'optimization' work on Giorgio's body styles commissioned by Volkswagen.
Hucho mentions the 'high cost' of curved glass in his book(s) and at the time,automakers were nursing nickels,searching for ways to control production costs.
No one builds shapes like those today.They've gone the way of the Easter Island Lumber Co..
