After burning up the airwaves on
Saturday Night Live, John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd took their
characters, Jake and Elwood Blues to the big screen with an
action packed comedy tht captured America's imagination. And
when this 1974 Dodge Monaco former Mount Prospect Police car
dubbed "The Bluesmobile" rolls onto the screen it's not just a
car, it's a character.
As Jake and Elwood
struggle to reunite "The Band" and save the Chicago orphanage
where they were raised, they wreak havoc across Cook County and
surrounding area. And when they need to get the word out about
their "Fabulous Rhythm and Blue Revue," they mount a giant
speaker to the roof and drive from Calument City to Indiana
Beach announcing the show. After the show, Jake and Elwood must
make it to the Cook County Assessor's Office with the entire
Cook COunty Police force on their tails. Along the way they
inadvertently destroy shopping malls, public buildings, and more
Chicago Police cars than you can count. In the end, after a
series of amazing acrobatic moves that would have rendered other
vehicles to scrap, like a loyal friend The Bluesmobile gets the
brothers where they need to be and promptly falls to pieces.
