Posted March 12, 201410 yr Since I made a topic that was UK centered, here is one that is US inspired! All seven cars together. Built in 1957 this Plymouth has quite a history of violent deaths surrounding it's owners. The car even has a name. (you might have even heard of it) The name of the car is Christine. Rear of the 1957 Plymouth Fury. I was inspired by the Palace Cinema limo for this one! Built by Ogel Motor Cars in 1963, this car was given as a gift by Mr Ogel himself to a personal friend: Lord Vladek the once-and-future dictator of the Knight's Kingdom. It was named the Vladek in his honor. Rear of the '63 Vladek. Built 1965 by an unknown manufacturer as a pumper truck for Ironwood Fire Department. Actually I built this from set 9484, Red's Water Rescue. I took off the eyes and mouth and replaced them with regular car parts. Built in 1969 by Volkswagen as a microbus. This van is currently owned by this Hippie. ^ (image courtesy of Bricklink) Built and modified from a PDF of the LEGO Rock Band bus. Just a pickup truck of undetermined origin. This is a modified set #40083, Limited Edition 2013 Holiday Set (2 of 2), now in black instead of patches of red / dark red. Built by Star Works in 1977. *waves hand* You can go about you business. This is not the car you're looking for. Move along. Rear of the car '77 auto.This car is based off a LEGO City Undercover car, seen here: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/365561 (I confess, I couldn't come up with a better description that that horrible Star Wars reference. Sorry!) This is a classic 1978 Nexus, currently owned by Bob from LEGO Universe. It is painted in a very rare Nexus Orange paint scheme. Only one of these is known to still be painted this color, and it is Bob's. This car is based off a LEGO City Undercover car, seen here: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/365561 I spruced up the model found on that page and fixed some parts issues. (Yes, it really is build able in orange in real life!) The year was chosen as the first modern mini figure was released in 1978. Comment's question and complaints welcome!

March 13, 201410 yr I love EVERYONE of these cars!!!! With your permission I'm going to build ALL of them for my city!
March 13, 201410 yr Author You can built them if you want. Here is the LXF: http://www.mocpages.com/user_images/80135/1394722148m.lxf Enjoy!
March 13, 201410 yr I love these, especially the last one. The front grill, the trunk, the bench seat - classic!
March 13, 201410 yr Author As I said, that's from LEGO City Undercover... not me. Though I do agree, it is classically styled. Thank you all for commenting!
March 13, 201410 yr Gee, 'Murdoch17' you have been busy again haven't you ? Great looking collection of classic vehicles....keep them coming and Brick On LDD On 'Murdoch17' !
March 13, 201410 yr You can built them if you want. Here is the LXF: http://www.mocpages....1394722148m.lxf Enjoy! Thanks you! I've been looking at others "old" cars for ideas, but haven't been inspired. Then yours come along and the are so perfect!
March 14, 201410 yr I'm not much of a car afficionado but I had to comment on these: you should build a modular Havana for these!
March 14, 201410 yr Author @TrentonC: The VW Microbus fit's 3 figures (one per row), the Nexus can fit a mini fig without a hat or hair. (Like Bob, for example!) The pick-up seats two, and I'm pretty sure the Blue car can fit a fig, with no hat or hair as well. The rest have no inside seating or don't fit anyone. For example: The fire truck's cab is taken up by SNOT bricks to get the front to fit. @everyone else: thanks!
March 15, 201410 yr Hola! Primo work recreating the LCU cars, Murdoch17. Thanks for sharing the LDD file, much appreciated. EvMan
