[MOC] Chevy Advance inspired vintage truck

[Versteinert]

Probably some of you heard of the Lego Ideas "Vintage car" building contest. Originally, this moc was one of my entries, that I now managed to build in real bricks.

For this model I was mainly inspired by the Chevy Advance, but as a participant of the contest I wasn't allowed to completely rebuild the truck. Since this was third person ID, it would have been against the rules.

Hope you like it nevertheless ;)

That's a lovely build.  I'm not entirely sold on the teacup, but the revolver for the exhaust pipe and the ice skates for the grill I think are great!  Is there actually a steering mechanism/swivel, or are the front tires just set in that way for the picture?

Cool build and very clever part usages, especially for the radiator grille.

Love it! I would buy if Lego were to produce it in the future. As has been stated your parts usage is brilliant and I do like the teacup.

Thanks. Actually these aren't ice skates but axe blades and no, the steering is fake as usual ;)

Brilliant. I love that grill and I thought they were ice skates too! But I can tell now since you mentioned the correct part. Very inspired.

OH, yes, I see.  Awesome.

What a awesome car. The roughness of the back makes it  even better.
