4-wide cars

[MR IOUS]

Playing around with an old look and new parts / colours. Actually one of my first steps out of the "dark ages" without lego. There are a lot more. Have a look at my Flickr.

These have quite a vintage look 

My favorites are the police car and the last one

 

Thanks for sharing :)

I like #25 a lot.  That 2 to 3 to 4 stud stepping works really well!

Looking good! The nice and subtle detailing gives each really character of its own.

Nice ones and very creative combining the classic with the new.

4 stud cars will always be better than 6 stud wide. On trucks, 6 stud wide is good.

They really work well on this scale, a nice series indeed, reminds me that I found a very old vintage TLG taxi in my boxfrom late 70's early 80's in this scale, was surprised I still had it

I only do four stud wide. When I got the 60141 Police Station back in 2017, I didn't even use the six stud wide car that came with it - preferring the monster truck from 60140. That's how much I dislike six stud wide cars for City. It works well for the trucks and buses, but not the cars.

Couldnt agree more! 6 wide is too much for average cars. I went 5 wide and low without fitting any figs just like the good old 70ies TLG era, but increased a bit the detail all around. They actually had it very right back then scalewise, just not very playable for kids - but as an AFOL, who cares... your 4 wides are really refreshing, glad to see the "non fig inside" faction isnt totally extinct ;) Great nostalgic feeling, looking forward to more from you!

Thank You! I hope some of those pieces in the tuning shop that's supposed to come in 2020 go towards more 4 stud wide automobiles. I'll take as many cars as possible.
