33855 JOY RIDE ERTL American Muscle - Blues Brothers Bluesmobile 1974 Mt. Prospect Police Dodge Monaco Sedan. 1:18 scale diecast model car. 12"Lx 3.5"Wx 3.5"H diecast police car with opening doors/hood. Joy Ride. RC2 Brands. Individually packed in a window box. 33855 in BLACK and WHITE colors.
The 1980 movie The Blues Brothers is about two "brothers," Jake and Elwood Blues, who put their band back together to raise money to save their old orphanage. They get in to all sorts of trouble, usually involving the Blues Brothers' car, the powerful and somewhat magical Bluesmobile. The movie Bluesmobile was a 1974 Dodge Monaco Sedan and was painted black & white to resemble a former police car. The used car look was enhanced with distressed police car markings and graphics. The Monaco dominated the USA police car market during the 70's. There is no truth to the rumor that the cars used in the movie were originally Chicago Police cars. In the movie Elwood says, "I picked it up at the Mount Prospect City Police auction last spring. It's an old Mount Prospect Police Car." Most of the cars used in the movie were probably civilian California Monaco's "dressed" as old police units. The movie car had a gold interior that was typical for cop cars in California's hot climate. Illinois units usually came with green or black interiors.
If you have seen the movie, you may wonder how any car could survive all those stunts. There is documentation for thirteen movie Bluesmobiles used in shooting all these scenes. Few have survived.
JoyRides car is 1:18 scale, with four opening doors, opening trunk and hood, a large speaker on top of the roof, and the distinctive Bluesmobile distressed decorations.
