LEGO 1967 / Classic / Vehicle Sets

The LEGO Classic Vehicle theme from the 1960s featured sets that centered on creating various vehicles using LEGO bricks. Distinct from the more detailed and specialized vehicle sets of later years, the 1960s theme provided basic parts and simple designs to construct cars, trucks, and other common vehicles. These sets were a part of LEGO's effort to expand its product range and offer builders thematic sets that focused on everyday objects and transportation modes.

1967 LEGO Sets

In 1967, LEGO refined how its sets were scaled, a significant shift that continues to influence modern LEGO design. Throughout the 1960s, the size of LEGO sets and the scale of models gradually increased. The introduction of model-based sets—known as Model Makers in the U.S.—departed from the earlier 1:87 Town Plan scale and instead adopted a larger scale based on the 2×2 wheel. This shift was reinforced by the train sets introduced in 1966 and a new series of truck models released in 1967, all of which adhered to the same scale. From this point forward, LEGO development focused on a more consistent system, moving away from the loosely scaled Town Plan era toward a standard scale that would later align with modern minifigure proportions.
