Go Retro and design your own 1967 Ford Mustang vintage poster!
The 1967 Ford Mustang - an American legend and a true classic! To honor this beautiful classic, we’re looking to see your original take on a vintage poster featuring a 1967 Ford Mustang. So, show us your very own design and be sure to incorporate that vintage, retro look and feel to your poster – oh and of course it should be built in LEGO bricks!
The Grand Prize winner will receive the 10265 LEGO Creator Expert Ford Mustang, the 75884 LEGO Speed Champions 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback and a $500 shopping spree on shop.LEGO.com. To top it all off your brick-built poster will be turned into an actual poster by a LEGO Designer just for you.
