“What’s in the box?”, we read on the Lego website. Immediately we hear the voice of Brad Pitt, who receives his wife’s head as a package in the movie Se7en. Fortunately, this Lego box contains only bricks, with which you can celebrate seventy years of the Chevrolet Corvette.
It’s a bit surprising that Lego has chosen to use a model from 1961 as a model, so without the tail fins and the two headlights and taillights.
The first Chevrolet Corvette was introduced in 1953
The first generation of Corvette was introduced in 1953. In the first year, only three hundred units left the production line in Flint, Michigan, a city that almost went bankrupt twice after the turn of the century, with high crime rates and water shortages. drink contaminated with lead.
The eighth generation suddenly with a V8 engine in the back
The Corvette became very popular and is seen as America’s one and only sports car. In seventy years there have been eight generations so far, the latest of which breaks with tradition and has its eight-cylinder engine in the back instead of the front.

The original design with six standard expectations
The first generation had a straight six, which was scrapped after three years, because everyone ordered a V8 anyway. In 1961 – the year of this Lego model – the power source was offered between 275 and 315 hp as standard.

You can see the eight cylinders in this 32 cm long model. The hood and trunk lid can be opened, and the hardtop roof can be removed for a good look at the interior, which has all the pedals, gear lever, interior mirror and radio .
Corvette with three different license plates
The set has 1,210 parts (for ages 18 and up, Lego says) and has three Corvette license plates. Of course, a Lego set is not cheap. Chevrolet is available from August 3 at a price of 149.99 euros.
