LEGO 1963 / 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.

In 1963 LEGO finally discontinued use of the original Cellulose acetate plastics in the production of LEGO bricks, in favor of the more stable acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic. Also, in a continued international push, LEGO Austria was established.
