A 70 SS396 with interesting wheel covers and a 1969 Mach 1 meet, (edit-in this AI generated fake picture. I was too quick to post since the primary cars looked pretty accurate but if you look at all the background traffic, it’s all an unholy mix of period styling cues. I will look harder in the future)

That Facebook channel is full of AI junk which this is one of them. Check out many of the cars in the background. They don't exist. Lots of damage to the Mustang and the hood is open on the Chevelle. That's it. Even the bumper is still straight.

Arghh!! I agree Rick. After I posted it I looked and besides the mystery wheelcovers on the Chevelle, I was struck by the Shaker hood scoop pasted on top of the solid hood of the ‘69 Mach 1. Also the fact that there’s two ‘69 Mustang fastbacks AND an SS Chevelle in a random collision picture. AI is going to suck all the fun out of nostaligia-thanks for calling it out. I’ll close this with what appears to be an authentic image of KK1215 looking absolutely badass with its ‘68 Winternationals vibe chrome reverse bigs and Cragar SS littles.

That picture is odd . Did
It rip the center out of the wheel? Almost looks like AI because it doesn’t make sense

Ok I see I read the last page now these are AI generated. Man people are starting to dislike AI myself included

That red 406 Ford was campaigned by a former Dick Harrell Performance Center employee from the New Mexico region, I believe?
