About this block
Retro round compact with domed hood, drawn in front elevation. It measures 5' 8" wide and 4' 11" high (1.73 m × 1.50 m), and it is drawn 1:1, full size, so it drops into any drawing set up in meters or in inches without rescaling.
From the Cars, front and rear library: 28 blocks drawn to one standard, each one available on its own.
In practice
Where it goes
A retro compact with a domed hood suits period street sections, a vintage garage elevation and a section through a classic-car café; its rounded front is instantly recognizable on a presentation sheet. Put it facing the viewer at the curb of a 1960s street section or in a narrow single garage.
Clearances to leave
Its 68 in (172 cm) body leaves 13½ in (34 cm) either side in a 8 ft (240 cm) compact stall and looks lost in a standard one. The domed roof peaks at 59 in (150 cm), so an old 80 in (203 cm) garage door clears it with 21 in (53 cm) spare, enough for a pendant light hung inside the garage.
Pairs with
Draw it with the 1970s small hatchback with divided tail lamps for a two-car vintage garage section, with Rounded figure in long coat stepping forward on the driveway. A pale stucco wall behind both cars makes the silhouettes read.
