Not long ago, the North American International Auto Show in Detroit was one of the most important events across the automotive industry and also the signal to kick off a new year of car-related bonanza.
However, now the Detroit Auto Show was relegated to a fall slot because of the hype surrounding CES in Las Vegas and the changing consumer tastes. This year, though, NAIAS also became a pale shadow of its former self because only the Big Detroit Three paid their respects with significant world premieres.
Mopar enthusiasts witnessed the official arrival of the refreshed 2024 Jeep Gladiator mid-size adventure pickup truck. General Motors had a double ensemble with the new generation GMC Acadia full-size crossover SUV and the subtle yet elegant facelift applied to the 2025 Cadillac CT5. And last but certainly not least, there was also the 2024 Ford F-150.
A best-seller for decades, the most successful representative of the F-Series has always attracted a lot of attention, even when it was called the F-100 instead of F-150. However, some people want to combine the past with the present and possibly even the future. Alas, if they cannot do it in the real world, they always have the refuge of the parallel universes created by the imaginative realms of digital car content creators.
And there is no need to take our word for granted as we have a trio of eloquent examples. The first one is directly (sort of) related to the Ford F-Series. Dubbed Ford 'F1000' this digital project by the virtual artist behind RS Design (better known as rs_design01 on social media) is a very nice return to CGI action as the pixel master usually spends a lot of free time in between his imagined creations.
With very few details shared by the author, we can see this Ford 'F1000' rocks an air bag suspension, allowing it to crawl at a millimeter-level distance from the tarmac. But that's not all. Instead, it's also full of cool stickers, has a nice patina for the virtual body along with vintage-flavored stripes, a big-lipped aftermarket wheel treatment signaling the modern stuff hiding in between them, plus a reworked heart – as seen via the second POV embedded in the gallery above.
Alas, this is not the only restomod project that caught our eye recently. There was also Timothy Adry Emmanuel, the virtual artist better known as adry53customs on social media, who continues his dream ride periplus among vintage cars. So, as part of his 'Blower Gang' series, now there is also a crimson-shaded 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS rocking black flames, a massively-blown V8 towering out of the engine bay, plus all the modern elements needed to make it a monster at the local quarter-mile dragstrip, including a wheelie bar.
Naturally, that creation caught the attention of another digital vintage ride restomod expert - Emmanuel Brito, or "personalizatuauto" as he is known on social media. This pixel master has an entire array of classic car projects – many of which are turning from vision into reality. Just like the gray 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback, you can fully admire it in the third post embedded below! So, in the end, there is just one question left out in the open. Which is your favorite?
