"It's got a cop motor, a four hundred and forty cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks, it was a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas," says Elwood Blues.
The 1980 movie The Blues Brothers is about two unlikely "brothers," Jake and Elwood Blues, who put their band back together to raise money to save their old orphanage. The movie's plot details all sorts of troubles, usually involving the Blues Brothers' car, the powerful and somewhat magical Bluesmobile.
The movie Bluesmobile was a 1974 Dodge Monaco Sedan painted black & white to resemble a recycled former police car. The used car look was enhanced with distressed police car markings and graphics. The Monaco model (and it's sibling, the Plymouth Fury) dominated the USA police car market during the 70's. The studio special effects team modeled their fictional version after California Highway Patrol (CHP's) Dodge Monaco's, complete with front vertical pushbars. The prop folks used the "To Serve and Protect" motto found on most LAPD cruiser fenders but not on their Illinois brethren. Hey, it's Hollywood!
