I asked AI to place my 1/18 scale 1971 Dodge Charger in a vintage dealership...and it worked. :) Yes, you can still tell it's a scale model, but I don't think AI did a bad job with this. It's an interesting blend of a real photograph and an AI generated one.
I made a tribute to Michael Paul Smith making a forced perspective of the forced perspective.....I never published the making of.........The final picture was posted at the group "Elgin Park". As I cannot photograph now, I am recycling old pictures! hahahaha...

High Speed production initially began in Hong Kong in 1979. They later moved their production factory to Macau and as of 2006 were again located in Hong Kong. They are now known as High Speed Metal and Plastic Products Manufacturing Co Ltd.
Usually seen in Readers Digest packaging but many other mail order companies used them too, they have survived in huge numbers despite said frailties because invariably they were bought by adults.

I personally don't gravitate towards red vehicles, but it works here.
"This casting is based on the '82 Supra casting designed by Larry Wood in 1983 but is heavily updated, featuring a single exposed pop-up headlamp, lowered stance, wider bolt-on fenders, hood vents, louvered rear and side windows, a small ducktail spoiler and front and rear diffusers and lips. Compared to the older casting the new casting's body lines are slightly wider even without the widebody kit".
