‘Everything is awesome’—including this life-size Lego Chevy Silverado

At a special event held January 19, just before the official opening of the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, the first full-size Chevrolet vehicle built entirely of LEGO® bricks made its glorious debut. Student’s from the Oxford Community School’s FIRST LEGO League and the A World in Motion program at Detroit’s Ralph Waldo Emerson Elementary School unveiled the LEGO Chevy Silverado.

A life-size replica of the 2019 Chevy Silverado LT Trail Boss, the LEGO Chevy Silverado promotes Chevrolet’s partnership with Warner Bros. for “The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part.” According to a Chevrolet press release, the film, which will hit the theaters February 8, will feature “a custom mini-build” of the full-size LEGO Silverado.

Weighing in at 3,307 pounds, the full-size LEGO Chevy Silverado replica took more than 2,000 hours for specially trained “LEGO Master Builders” to assemble from 334,544 pieces.

“Chevrolet is once again thrilled to be working with Warner Bros. to integrate the brand and one of our most iconic products—Silverado—into ‘The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part,’” said Sandor Piszar, director of Chevrolet Truck marketing. “The themes of determination and teamwork in the new movie align perfectly with our Chevy brand values and we are sure that the all-new Silverado has the features, technologies and strength that would help Emmet, Lucy and their friends as they take on exciting new challenges.”

The cinematic presence of LEGO Chevrolets began with “The LEGO Batman Movie” (2017), with a Chevy-created “LEGO Batmobile.”
