Executed in a striking yellow that channels Gandini’s optimistic 1970s palette, the model reflects Montreal’s vibrant personality and optimistic spirit. With roughly 1,400 pieces—yet built entirely from existing bricks—it mimics the production car’s bold lines and iconic slats, offering both structural ingenuity and stylistic homage to automotive design history.
The Montreal, first introduced as a concept at Expo ’67 and later produced from 1970–77, is celebrated for its blend of Italian elegance and muscle-car mechanics—like its race-bred 2.6 L V. Remarkably, this LEGO adaptation does more than mimic form; it captures the car’s soul. The builder’s challenge was translating complex curves and recessed slats using standard bricks, a feat that pays silent tribute to both Gandini’s original and the aspirational spirit of brick artistry.
