Does anyone know when Rick Shields built the HOB cars? Cambridge HOB opened in 1992, Orlando in 1997 but Orlando's car was HOB 2 and Cambridge was HOB 3. Also does anyone know how many HOB cars were made? These two are only ones I see any info about online. I do recall seeing New Orleans' car on EBAY after the floods so I know of 3. Thanks

- I think there was more than one Blumo at HOB Orlando. #2 went to Sweden, bought by Mr. and Mrs. Blues. Then we had a thread for a '76 with a '74 clip which was apparently a HOB Orlando car. And if the plaque on the dash is correct it was #8. - bluesmobiles.proboards.com/thread/1229/sold-1976-monaco-clip-floridaI don't have anymore info than that, that I can think of. TK would have a better handle on these cars, and of course you could send Huey a message on facebook. Or, try the number on the plaque, maybe Rick will answer.

^ Rick's eBay page is always active, we've posted his posters for sale. As he mentioned, the Blumo's in the poster are primarily HoB cars (one for Universal?) But that could be another way to contact him if anyone was so inclined. He's been an eBay member for over 16 years and 100% positive feedback. - www.ebay.com/usr/flmoviecars

Fun Fact: The window display at the Orlando HOB has a rear Monaco door in it, and it's marked "Rick Shields", so I'm assuming he also did some window/store props as well? This is post 666 for me, so my head is spinning 360 degrees. Rob

And there was at least one '75 Police package for parts involved because I have the front seat, top of the back seat, and front door panels from it in HOB #3.
