In the beginning, there were bricks. Not the ones that hurt your foot in the dark—that came later—but bright, indestructible, Scandinavian ones that promised a future of imagination, tidy playrooms, and precisely zero loose screws. And in 1963, in a small corner of France, some enterprising children, possibly named Jean-Claude and Sylvie, built what may be the most charming delivery truck ever rendered in 2×4 plastic.
This isn’t just any LEGO vehicle. This is the blue-and-white vintage LEGO truck, as held triumphantly by a rosy-cheeked boy in a French LEGO advertisement from the dawn of the ’60s. Before Technic, before Minifigs, before anyone thought you could sell small plastic trees for €4.99 apiece—there was this.
You can find here the building instructions and inventory to build the house that the girl is building.
On this page, we will guide you through recreating this retro LEGO marvel, complete with a full brick inventory, step-by-step instructions, and just a dash of nostalgia strong enough to power a windmill. Whether you’re a vintage LEGO enthusiast, a collector, or a curious builder chasing the pure joy of classic design, this guide is your portal to a simpler, studded past.
Because sometimes, the best way forward… is to go back, find the box under your bed, and rebuild a truck that looks like it delivers milk, hope, and structural integrity.
So, grab your bricks, your tea (or pastis), and let’s recreate the 1963 LEGO dream—one stud at a time.
