Here at The Lego Car Blog we do not understand America’s obsession with enormous pick-up trucks. Seemingly used to carry only an American flag, a ‘MAGA’ bumper sticker, and an anti-vaxxer in denial of the election result, they’re a world away from the pick-up we’ve got here.
This is the Fiat 500 Camioncino, a tiny two-seat pick-up truck, capable of carrying… well, not very much. But easily what most American pick-ups seem to.
The cutesy brick-built version pictured here today is the work of Nuno Taborda, who has based it upon the official LEGO 10271 Fiat 500 set, much like the real Camioncino was adapted from the 500 city car too. With the rear seats, roof and bodywork replaced by a load bed fitted above the rear-mounted engine, there’s space for a few dozen green bottles to make their way to the piazza. And that’s considerably more than what’s in the beds of 95% of American pick-up trucks.
Join Nuno trundling across Italy in a pick-up truck small enough to fit in the bed of an F-150 via the link above. And there’s not a bumper sticker in sight.
