[MOC] Classic car inspired by 1949 Mercury Coupé

[Versteinert]

It was time for another car moc. This time I was mainly inspired by a 1949 Mercury Coupé. I built this moc especially for testing the 27965 flexible hose as a styling element. And I wanted to try a new idea for chrome hubcaps. Actually I'm not really satisfied with the result regarding the flexible hose. I wanted to integrate it better, but my original idea didn't work. And for a better integration I would have had to change main parts of the front design. Since I already designed the frontbumper and grill, I thought this would be no good idea ;) There would be space for a sitting minifig in the car, but this would have to be a bald, since the head-stud already touched the roof of the car. So I finally took the pictures without a minifig. As always, I only used original LEGO parts, no custum or alternative parts, no painting, no cutting, no glue.

I hope you like it :)

This looks really good I am very impressed, love the front and I like the way you have used some very unique pieces to create the bumpers and grill.

 

I know you said you are not very happy with the hose, however I dont think you could have got it any better and from side on it does look good.

 

Looking forward to seeing your other creations!

Bit too late, but nevertheless thanks ;)

Yes, It just would have been nice if one could see the curving of the hose from the diagonal view better, too ;)
