1950's Flare

This is my first entry into the contest. I love building Minifig scale cars in Lego. This is a great challenge and I appreciate the opportunity to share some of my designs. This one is a classic 50's style two door coupe in the quintessential pastel color, complete with tail fins. It uses a couple of interesting parts, there are 1x2 plates with teeth on the end to indicate a nice triple side port on each front fender. There are cattle horns creating a nice curved bumper in the front even though this is not a Texas based car. :) We also have a Star Wars Biker Scout helmet that acts as the perfect hood scoop to take air into the small V8 up front. Lastly, Minifig adapter plates act as door handles while simultaneously creating some nice interior detail. For those sunny days you can easily take off the removable hard top and replace it with a single piece tonneau cover to let your hair blow in the wind. I hope you enjoy this build and look forward to doing more in the future.
