Finally a 50s car again! The 1950 Buick In 1949, Buick introduced a completely new model, but General Motors decided to update the styling of Buick models in 1950. This included the iconic Sweepspear silhouette, four portholes in the hood, and the buck-tooth grille. The 1950 Buick Roadmaster was available as a four-door sedan, Riviera hardtop, convertible, and Estate Wagon, which made extensive use of real tree wood. The Estate Wagon models produced from 1950 to 1953 were the last Buicks to feature real structural wood. Additionally, there were Deluxe versions of the Riviera and sedan, both confusingly named "Riviera." The Roadmaster Sedanettes were also available, but due to slow sales, they were discontinued after the 1950 model year, making them highly sought-after by collectors today. The Buicks produced during this time represent the last of the long-running overhead valve straight eight engines, which still produced approximately 150 horsepower in the Roadmaster. The smaller Buick Special retained its straight eight in 1953 before the entire line received V8 power in 1954. What are Woodies? Wood-bodied station wagons, affectionaly known a Woodies, may be gone, but are certainly not forgotten. Originally invented to transport train passengers and their luggage, they became a american icon and also a huge part of the surf culture. Around 1920, car manufacturers started to combine the easy-to-work-on metal and good-looking and structural wood. Wood for cars was used for 30 more years, but it was getting a more and more rare. This Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon was built in 1950 when the real woody era was slowly ending. In 1953 the Buick Roadmaster was the last car that used structural wood. From then on, wood was only used as a trim piece and got replaced by wood foil in the 1960s. About my MOC As always, I had lots of fun designing this model because these shapes are something I've never done before. This model would fit great in line with my other station wagons like my '40 Ford Deluxe Station Wagon and my '59 Ford Country Squire I'm really happy with the end result, I think the Dark Green goes great together with the Tan and Dark Orange of the wood. This car unfortunately doesn't have an detailed interior and does not support minifigs. I tried my best but more wasn't . The model is about 8.8 studs wide, 23.3 studs long and 7 bricks high. This model should be quite stable, so you can use this model as a display piece but you can also play with it. The instructions for this model are easy to follow and for free. If you want to modify this model, no problem, just download the Stud.io 3D file and start building. If there are any problems with the instructions, please contact me. I spent a lot of time and effort in this model so I would be happy if you reply to this topic! I plan on building more versions of this car, so stay tuned.

Huge shoutout to w35wvi for helping me throughout the build and rendering these amazing pictures for me! Thank you very much! The Ford Deluxe In 1937, Ford introduced the Ford Deluxe to fill the gap between the base model "Standart" and the luxury Lincoln offerings. This marketing approach was in response from the different General Motors brands, (Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac and Chevrolet), and the Chrysler brands, (Chrysler, Desoto, Dodge and Plymouth). The Deluxe line was build for three years untill it was discontinued in 1941, after the Mercury Eight sales progressed. The 1941 Ford line included the De Luxe and Super De Luxe trim, but these vehicls were not marketed as a seperate line. About the '40 Deluxe In 1940 the Ford Deluxe got it's last facelift, featuring a brand new grille and a sharper hood. The changed front turned out to be one of the most iconic car fronts ever. The fstaest engine that year was the 239 cui (3.9 L) "Y-Head" V8 which produced 95 hp. The '40 Deluxe came in nine different body styles: Coupe, Convertible, Pickup, Tudor Sedan, Fordor Sedan, Sedan Delivery, Ambulance, Convertible Sedan and last but not least Station Wagon or also Woodie Wagon. The 1940 Ford Deluxe is often called the best pre-war Fords of it's kind. What are Woodies? Wood-bodied station wagons, affectionaly known a Woodies, may be gone, but are certainly not forgotten. Originally invented to transport train passengers and their luggage, they became a american icon and also a huge part of the surf culture. Around 1920, car manufacturers started to combine the easy-to-work-on metal and good-looking and structual wood. Wood for cars was used for 30 more years, but it was getting a more and more rare. The last real Woodie with structual wood, the Buick Roadmaster Station Wagon, went of the market in 1953. From then on, wood was only used as a trim piece and got replaced by wood foil in the 1960s. This 1940 Ford Deluxe Station Wagon was built in 1940, pretty much in the peak of the Woodie era. About my MOC As always, I had lots of fun designing this model because these shapes are something I've never done before. This model is basically the complete opposite of my last model, the 1971 Plymouth Road Runner. I'm really happy with the end result, I think the Sand Green goes great together with the Tan and Dark Orange of the wood. w35wvi had a lot of great ideas, for example the rear lights. The interior is mostly made by him. This car has an detailed interior and supports two minifigs. The model is about 8 studs wide, 21 studs long and 6 bricks and 2 plates high. You can use this model as a display piece but you can also play with it. The only problem is that the rear wheels rubb a bit on the fenders. The instructions for this model are easy to follow and for free. If you want to modify this model, no problem, just download the Stud.io 3D file and start building.

I plan on building three more versions of this car, so stay tuned. Watch the FORDS go by! -- 1940 Ford Advert You can find instructions for this model on my Rebrickable page.

Do you remember when Mega Bloks had a Universal license from five years ago? They've released the station wagon from 'Minions' back in 2015. I recreated this using actual LEGO! Now with the new LEGO Minions sets, this car would make a great addition! Download Link: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/TheScooterGuy/Stud-io/Station-Wagon/minions_station_wagon_studio.io

My current fleet of 5-wide cars below, they are all-opening (hoods/bonnets, all four doors, rear hatch/trunk door) they are all four-doors (when applicable, the minivan is 3 doors) and seek to emulate the look of standard regular family cars we see on the streets, I don't care much for fancy exotic cars, I am trying to specialized on dorky regular family production cars (mostly following a 70's or 80's design) Some of them are lacking an interior, some have an interior, but I am still waiting for parts to create the seats and panels and steering wheels, as of June 2018. Model 1 - "White 1972 Ford LTD" - November 2017 - my first 10-wide car, it emulates a typical large American sedan from the 70s. Model 2 - "Red 1986 Opel Kadett" - December 2017 - my second try went for a late 80's compact fastback European style car, that ended up looking a bit like a Kadett (with a hint at an Audi Quattro rear). I eventually created alternative sedan and station wagon rears for that red car, and these rears can still be easily switched, making the read fastback a 3-in-1 "transformer" model! I leave it in the sedan configuration now because I have a separate hatchback and a separate Model 3 - "Yellow 1981 Toyota Corona Station Wagon" looks a lot like a station wagon version of the Red Fastback, but with a higher, bulkier front and a longer rear. Model 4 - Blue Fastback - an almost exact copy of Model 2, made to look a bit simpler, like a base model. Model 5 - Tan-Brown minivan - just made it a few days ago and it's in early prototype stage, I intend to extend it 2 studs and make a better rear and roof. The red version of the fastback has a gray streak in the C column, ending at the corner roof slope There is also my 16-wide motorized remote controlled (all-opening) white sedan But I'll leave it for another thread!!!

Anyone on here ever heard of a Third Row Seat before? Most station wagons (typically in North America) have them, which converts the luggage area into a third seating area! Here's what mine looks like: Anyone used these in their wagon MOCs before? Thanks for viewing!

Hello everyone! Today I decided to give you a revolutionary idea in LEGO the automotive industry. This is a modular vehicle, its function in that it can from one base to make a few variations of body and lining. Look! Versions: Sedan Station Wagon Hatch Coupe The version number is limited only by your imagination. Limo, Pickup, Van, Hearse, caravan, Taxi, Police car, etc. Вe creative, I only will be glad! Here is a link to the .lxf file. Comments and criticism are welcome.
