Research Dossier (baked into plan decisions)

Vehicle: 1936 Ford Model 68 Deluxe 3-Window Coupé (2-door, 3-window roofline)

• Wheelbase (real car): ~112 in (used for LEGO proportion targets)
• Length (real car): ~182.8 in; Height: ~68.6 in
• Powertrain reference: Ford flathead 221ci V8 era output ~85 hp; paired with 3-speed manual (used for engine bay packaging and floor tunnel)
• Signature exterior cues: upright grille, long flowing fenders, hood side louvers, running boards, swept roofline
• Interior cues: bench seat, simple dash with central gauge cluster, column/lever controls typical of era; mohair-style upholstery cues for “Deluxe” trims

Reference photos (public): Use these to confirm silhouette, fender bulge, grille height, roof window cutouts, and spare/rack options.

True LEGO Geometry & LEGO-Legal Rule Set (enforced)

• Exact stud grid + standard heights (1 brick = 3 plates). Half-stud offsets only via official parts (jumpers/brackets/etc.).
• No stressed geometry (no forced bends, torque, compression, jam-fits). Assemblies must rest without stored tension.
• BrickLink Studio collision + connection validation: zero intersections, zero floating, all connections valid.
• Moving features must clear without scraping; Technic pins/axles insert straight without pulling beams into position.
