This was my feeble attempt at creating an AI photo of my Mom's 65 deVille.  I asked the app to put a yellow 65 in a field with a sunset in the background.  What it created is actually amazing, other the the little issue of it using a 66 instead of a 65.

@chris Yeah, I am guessing the AI found an image file that was mislabeled, somehow. 

I haven't done a deep inspection but the creation of reflections,etc. looks pretty good to my old eyes.

I may take another crack at it and see if it can find the correct year.

I was so hoping Stamp would do this car in this color.  Seems like they are doing a lot of "special issue" repaints so maybe someday.

@chris Yup, that's my Mom's car.  I learned to drive in this boat and took my driving test in it. It would have been easier to parallel park the Queen Mary.  We lived in upstate NY and it was a heartbreaking thing to see it start rusting in about 3 years from new.  Typical for cars up there in that era.

"I was so hoping Stamp would do this car in this color." 

Many years ago, I sold off my JADA '65.   I had planned on morphing it form a toy  into a scale model,  but close inspections deemed the project too labor intensive.   I'd love to have a full-function 1/18 '65.     Good luck to you! 

 

CDV 5

1/25 JoHan '65 CDV promos are pricey! 

CDV 7
CDV 6
CDV 9

@chris Thanks, Chris.  I do recall that Jada and you are so right about the promos being pricey!
