An easy way to start a total war between old muscle car boys from the old school is to ask what the best-looking muscle car from “The Golden Era” (1964-1970) is. Depending on whether you are more a Pontiac GTO or a sort of Plymouth Road runner, your answer will certainly vary. But what if we remove all brand loyalty and emotional subjectivity and instead just ask for an impartial, semi-intelligent smart robot? This is exactly what we did and it is safe to say that we were impressed by the results.
This is because when you ask chatgpt to completely re -design a classic muscle car with the help of its almost infinite brain, it is like opening Pandora’s box. You usually get a copy of an existing model with a number of AI-advanced eccentricity. Nevertheless, we were intrigued on this occasion that the chatbot was a tailor -made creation. Let us break down the design process of the AI and see if the hype (and bias) is real or not.
To give you the most up-to-date and accurate information, the data used to collect this article from various manufacturers and other authoritative sources come.
The best -looking muscle car from the 60s (according to AI)
Yes, what you see before you see is a muscle car of the Chatgpt design (semiiginal), called the “Crimson Tempest”. At first glance, what is the first design that stands out? Although the name “Tempest” has, the design does not resemble that of the Pontiac Tempest. We would say it is clear that the overall form and silhouette are from a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro. The design of the front mudguard, doors, glass and roof is 100 percent a Camaro from 1967, so it is the headlights, hood and incidents that stand out by AI created.
Chevrolet style steals the heart of Chatgpt
The quad circular headlights of the creation of Chatgpt follow the equilateral shape and design of the Chevrolet Impala and Chevrolet Chevelle, while the secondary headlights of the Camaro of 1967 were always smaller instead of the same size. The hood is also a certain design that looks the most like the shape of the RAM-air style that Drag Racekap can be found on the Ultra-Haarzelde Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 from 1969.
Together with the generic five-spoke “American Racing” vintage wheels, and you have an interesting fusion of a muscle car from the 60s made of a variety of Chevrolet products from the comparable era. This then raises the question: Has Chevy made the best-looking muscle car design of all time, or is Chatgpt simply biased in favor of this specific design?
The alternative corners and the interior
When we concentrate on the rear quarter of the Crimson Tempest, we confirm that the Chevrolet Camaro from 1967 is the blueprint for the leading AI’s idea of what the most beautiful muscle car looks like. From the shape of the back glass with the chromium finish to the characteristic high shovel -rear spoiler and rectangular rear lights, this is a Camaro from 1967 to a tee.
Interior spectures bring the influence of the Chevy home
The interior also looks like a Camaro from 1967-68 except the third large meter on the instrument cluster, because the original Chevy only came with two. Everything else seems to be in order, including the shape of the transmission tunnel, together with the chrome shifter and the iconic white shift button.
Chevy’s Muscle Car Design and the influence of the sixties
So, have we decided that the first generation Chevrolet Camaro was the most beautiful muscle car of the sixties because Chatgpt said that? Not so fast, because there are many other icons from the era that also deserve recognition for their beautiful styling. Although many of the most recognizable models of Chevy, such as the Chevelle and Impala, shared the circular quad -headlight design motif, this specific design was not exclusive for GM products.
The first generation of Chevy Camaro was not the first muscle car that offered this iconic design, and this fascia layout would be a signature of the muscle car era. Yet the first vehicle that this quadular headlight design was wearing and the concept of a “muscle car” made the Pontiac GTO from 1964 popular.
The striking leaders of Muscle Car Design
In the sixties, most new models saw considerable styling updates from year to year and the Pontiac GTO was no different. Despite all the constant changes over the years, the Pontiac GTO -Hardtopcoupé of 1969 is perhaps the most attractive year of the original Muscle Car. Some prefer the “Judge” GTO from 1970, but for us, the front grill design where the headlights were integrated in 1969, looks a bit more unique and characteristic.
The best -selling muscle car from the 60s
If there is a good appearance, the Chevrolet Chevelle is the outright winner because a record 2,671,900 Chevy Chevelle and/or Malibu units were sold in four years from 1964 to 1970. In that last year 1970, the Chevrolet Chevelle, the Hottest Muscle car of the honor, also saw the Aesthetic Peak of the external design.
The Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 Hardtop Sport Coupe from 1970 has a timeless “Coke Bottle” silhouette that sees a different interpretation of the Quad Circular Headlight design, with each headlight receiving its own housing. After 1970, the Chevelle would lose the characteristic Quad Circular Headlight design, and by the start of the third generation in 1973 the hottest muscle car of his time had almost lost its once glorious sex appeal.
The Ford Mustang and Co. would like a word
Chatgpt decided to give all Muscle Car Brownie points to the Chevrolet Camaro and his brothers and sisters, but no conversation about handsome classic muscle cars is complete without calling the proverbial rival of the Camaro, the Ford Mustang. It was in response to the Mustang that the Chevy Camaro was created and the impact of the Mustang extended further than just the Muscle Car market.
The first generation Mustang created the Pony car market From thin air thanks to smart engineering solutions such as sharing parts between existing models so that the Mustang could reach an affordable price compared to its rivals. Yet no part of the Mustang was a larger sales argument for the developing “youth” market than his slim two -door fastback styling that looked too good to be true.
The Mustang has paved its own lane
At first glance, the first generation Mustang has the attraction of a European big coachAnd this is a big reason why the Swooping design of the Fastback Carrosserie Style quickly became the most popular of the options available. The Mustang became an icon of design with distinctive performance-based models such as the “Sportsroof” 1965 Shelby Mustang with its distinctive rear window Louvers, and the Boss 429 model of 1969 that bends the largest hood of his era of his era in an attempt to hide the Nascar V-8 engine.
The time in which muscle cars shot up in popularity
Steve McQueen strengthened the popularity of the Ford Mustang GT from 1968 with his adventures in the streets of San Francisco in the 1968 film Bullitt. Yet it is the iconic chase scene from this film that also introduced another legend in his era, the Dodge Charger R/T from 1968.
The threatening appearance of the monstrous, single pre -grill of the charger R/T with hidden front headlights was a design element in the field of Spiercar from Spiercar that was popularized by the lady model. Nevertheless, the hidden headlights from the charger were phased out in 1973 and within a year the era of the muscle car would come to an end.
The era of the muscle car was short -lived, but never forgotten
The impact of the Muscle Car era on both design and performance would radiate after the conclusion throughout the automotive landscape. But why had one of the most important eras of the car such a short lifespan? Well, until the beginning of the 1970s, car manufacturers were allowed to be an unprecedented amount of freedom as far as performance -engineering, because then nobody care about emission rules as they should have. Placing the largest V-8 engines with high compression that you think is conceivable in solid and heavy cars sounds like a good idea until the gas prices doubles and 100-octane fuel is no longer accessible to the average consumer.
Foreign fuel sips are becoming more attractive under strict standards
As soon as the octane levels fell after the increasing limitations of 1970, the once over -named muscle cars had to greatly reduce performance production in order to stay in line with the new and increasingly larger efficiency standards. By 1974 the entire focus of the car -industry was shifted, which marked the end of the Muscle Car era and the beginning of the infamous mark Malaysian era.
This stagnation within the American economy would effectively open the locks for Japanese car manufacturers such as Toyota and Honda to take advantage of the lack of American car manufacturers to produce economic and efficient vehicles, and we still experience the after effect of those decisions, even today.
