The LEGO® model inspired by the 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS reproduces the details of the Camaro's angled front, the characteristic big hood to support the V8 engine. The rear shows a replica of the original car's taillights and bumpers. The wide wheels make the LEGO® model look fantastic along with the design that replicates the curves of the original 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS car.
