Prominently featured in the 1980 Universal Pictures film The Blues Brothers, this 1974 Dodge Monaco was a decommissioned Mount Prospect police car, purchased by Elwood Blues at an auction after he traded a previous car (a 1968 Cadillac Sixty Special) for a microphone. When describing the car to his brother Jake Blues, Elwood says, ��It��s got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It��s got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It��s a model made before catalytic converters so it��ll run good on regular gas.�� The sedan has the ability to perform seemingly impossible stunts, such as flipping backwards in midair and even ��flying�� for very brief periods of time. Clearly unimpressed, especially considering the cigarette lighter does not work, Elwood slams on the gas and jumps over an open drawbridge. Jake nonchalantly states, ��Car��s got a lot of pickup.�� Elwood retorts, ��So what do you say, is it the new Bluesmobile or what?�� Jake replies, ��Fix the cigarette lighter.��
Auto World proudly presents a detailed replica of the Bluesmobile with the loud speaker mounted on the roof that Jake and Elwood broad-casted their upcoming ��Blues Extravaganza�� fund raising concert. True-to-life figures of The Blues Brothers, Elwood and Jake, are included
