What would this 1946 Vermilion Barrow look like in renders of different model years?

As for the 1965 model year, this is the last model year the Barrow would be produced. I’m gonna share how it would look like anyway, from 1966 until the present day.

Seems like the AI generator was right in assuming the Barrow would have gone from a mid- (or full-)sizer for the first 20 years, to a pony car by the '60s, then a personal luxury car by the mid-'70s, before reverting to a pony car from the mid-1990s onward, with retro-futuristic styling cues after 2005.

I agree with ABG, very interesting progress, what did you use for it?
(Well, the 2005 model looks a bit too much like an R34 with S197 front and rear ends and Camaro grille maybe, but still :rofl: )

I’ve used Prome AI, like one of the comments above. It basically takes a screenshot as base and modifies it according with the description used in the generator. You can also choose variation, meaning the rate that the image can change. I don’t know how many free uses someone can have, but I believe it’s about 100 free uses. Maybe there are more, but I didn’t figure out.

I got a more subdued evolution by just leaving “19 something car” in the prompr

Kind of the same vibes as the small Lincoln prototype built on an Euro Granada
