LEGO car guru Tim Inman is on fire lately and no amount of stop, drop and rolling can squelch this blue streak to stardom. First we were wowed by this 1933 Willys Gasser. The term gasser denotes a particular style of retro drag racer known for their heightened stance and exaggerated exhaust pipes that reside usually behind the front tires. It is not named for what happens when you eat refried beans but, truth be told, it sort of sounds like that when it rips down the dragstrip. This particular model is a study in lovely teal blue.

Then we were floored shortly after when Tim dropped this Bill Thomas Cheetah prototype. As the name implies, the Cheetah was designed by, well, Bill Thomas for Chevrolet in order to dominate the Ford-sponsored Shelby Cobra. Things looked promising for the mid-engined prototype until a fire at the factory halted the project. Do I sniff a hint of competitive sabotage, maybe?

This model deserves another view. Tim captures its odd proportions nicely and has mastered these truly amazing complex curves. That’s no easy feat in LEGO bricks!

I’d be remiss not to show you that aforementioned mid engine V-8 taken from a Chevy Corvette. The headers emerge cleanly from the hood once the hood is put back in place.

And just when we thought Tim didn’t have any more gas left in the tank, we’re gobsmacked by this trio from the Disney movie Onward. Here we see burly Barley Lightfoot, his brother Ian Lightfoot to the far right, and between them, their (sort of) reanimated dad Wilden Lightfoot. Due to some magic spell snafu, only the bottom half of dad has been brought back to life at this point so they pile into Barley’s tricked out van for an epic adventure to try to resurrect his upper half.

The characters are fine enough, but what revs my motor is Guinevere, what they call their dark blue van that is chock full of 60s and 70’s van-life style. Get a load of that magical Pegasus mural. That’s far out, man!

Not to be weird about it or anything but Guinevere somehow seems better from the rear. (Hey, that rhymes!) I mean, that awesome spare tire and curtained off rear windows most certainly evoke feelings of retro road trips and misadventures. Back then, it was always the coolest people on the block to have a van like this. Now to go find someone named Guinevere to try out my new pickup line. Wish me luck!

Should I actually manage to entice someone named Guinevere, I can offer her transport in her namesake ride. In typical Tim fashion, the doors open properly and the side doors slides back nicely to reveal a well-detailed interior. Your chariot awaits, m’lady! Just ignore the smell of corn chips and socks.

Speaking of detailed interiors, Tim pulls no stops when it comes to tricking out this ride. I’m sensing quite a bit of magical lore and maybe a hint of Dungeon and Dragons nerdom. All of which is standard affair if you were to magically resurrect your dad, even if just his bottom half. One of those pinetree car deodorizers or ten ought to eliminate the smell of brimstone and reanimated dad.

Tim whipped these up in quick succession, what seemed to be a whirlwind of productivity and we’re all tickled pink about it. Or, um blue. Definitely blue. To see more of what revs his motor, check out our Tim Inman archives.
