The latest LEGO Creator Expert series boasts a stunning vintage LEGO car. The model in question is the Ford Mustang, the set contains 1,470 pieces, measures at 13 inches and is as authentic as it can get. For the product, the block toy company taps Ford for direct input on the design of the replica. As a result, the vintage LEGO car boasts incredible attention to detail that includes "5-spoke rims with road-gripping tires," racing stripes, a printed Mustang grille badge and even a 390 V8 engine that can be viewed on an assembled model by lifting the hood. In addition, LEGO leaves room in the trunk which is a playful feature.
