Yes, it is possible.
You need an image of the car in all the colors that you want to use (or maybe a gray color that can be colorized each time), each being placed as a separate layer. You also need as many masks as the number of colors, and also the frames that look like pictures.
It can be made into a transition too. You just need to decide to what exactly it will transition :D
To a different color of the car, or to a different image all together.
Here is a Photoshop action that can help you cut the frames and the masks.

Do you want to do this by yourself ?

Mona's description is spot on. I think that one of the easiest ways is to create a graphic the size of your intended screen aspect using Photoshop/Gimp/Photo-Paint/etc. This graphic will then have a small white rectangular section (with shadow if that's what you want) that will serve as your clip mask. You'll make as many of these as necessary cover the screen/graphic (only save the graphic with one opaque/mask section active at a time).

You'll then get your vehicle. You'll Photoshop it to change its body color and save each colored vehicle. Then, import all of the mask graphics into Producer and all of the colored vehicles, one mask to one colored vehicle. That's the brute force way to do it.

The finesse way would be to mask each section of the colored vehicle in Photoshop/Gimp/Photo-Paint/etc and save that section as part of the whole graphic. Keep doing this for each part of the screen until you have the whole vehicle completed. Then import each graphic into Producer. The region of the graphic that served as the mask will contain the segment of the car . . . all together you'll have your vehicle.

Now, in each case you can make visible each mask set or graphic containing a vehicle section over the course of the slidetime (so the vehicle appears a section at a time). To create a transition, each of the graphics or masked images becomes a destination transition layer and you'll need a layer to identify as a source transition layer.

Mona explained how to get the effect with the Panox action. If you accomplished that and you would like to make that into a style , you have to make a different mask for each little photo ( so each on a different layer) in your outside editor.( tip: collapse all layers into one, and now just add empty layer and draw the mask into the picture,repeat for each picture) Also, from the original collapsed image , make a copy and cut out the parts inside the frames and save that entire image ( this is the print with just the frames and shadows , with the cut out insides) as a png file and use that in producer as your overlay. In producer you have to place every single mask underneath the overlay file and put an image from 'whatever' in 'whatever' color underneath it, each mask with another colored item. That's the simplest way to explain I guess.
