Instructions for: ‘Olsen Gang’ Chevrolet Bel Air 1959 from LEGO® bricks

Description

Without a doubt, the Olsen Gang had style. The thieving trio dashed through almost every episode of the popular movie series with a Chevrolet Bel Air. Back then, of course, the American road cruiser built in 1959 was not yet a classic car.

The car was not half bad, even if the film vehicle made the deliberate impression of being slightly run-down. It was also practical. Due to its good all-round visibility, it was an excellent getaway vehicle: approaching law enforcement officials could be spotted through the generously sized windows.

The high fuel consumption alone could have caused a headache. No wonder: one and a half tonnes of car distributed over five metres in length wanted to be moved briskly. Who knows – maybe the Danish guys just had to crack safes to be able to afford the upkeep of the prestigious Chevy.
