Hi everybody! I know, I'm waaay behind in reporting whatever became of Bluzman's "Blues-Mo-Better-good-mobile"... Sooo much has been happening and I just never got around to writing and posting about it. In a nutshell: Bluzman finished building this particular Bluesmobile in summer and off she went across the ocean...via Maryland, and Newark harbor to Europe...and here from Rotterdam to Hamburg, Germany. Yes, and for about 7 weeks now she's my dreamcar and my nightmare at the same time...with a clear bias towards fun and dream and "Wow!" and "Hit it!". You guys, Bluzman and this Board made it possible. Thank y'awl! And since this thread is called "Bluesmobiles on Youtube" I thought I just start by letting moving pictures do the telling... More to come! vimeopro.com/incorporateimage/oldtimertreffen2015/video/139868609vimeopro.com/incorporateimage/oldtimertreffen2015/video/140129347Enjoy! Ulrich (MineVIELd)

You guys, Bluzman and this Board made it possible. Thank y'awl! I love hearing/reading stuff like that Cool vids, Ulrich! The rumble when you're pulling out of that garage just sounded sweet. What is the motor in that Blumo? I know Bluzman had a 440 motor available but I can't remember if he put it in that car. And you bought sideburns for the whole family!! Lol, great stuff.

Yeah, we had a LOT of fun at that show! We made the 2nd place in the special movie car competition (K.I.T.T. won) which was a great success considering that only a day earlier gasoline poured out of the Monaco's tank while smoke smoldered out the dashboard at the same time. Both problems (1: practically non-existent gasket at opening of fuel sending unit, 2: short-circuit at light-switch due to broken wire inside spotlight) could be dealt with, though, and the Blumo made it to the event. It never gets boring! The engine is an oil burning, V7 cylinder, 400 ci. At least at the moment. Spotlight still broken, too. And a couple of other issues. It never gets bo... Oh, I said that already! Ulrich

^ Is this the same Blumo that 2FAB posted above? ... Funny little vid, I'm not sure where it is. I checked the uploaders other vids and they're from different States so I'm not sure if this is California. Sure ain't Canada, lol, we're in the grip of global cooling with snow on the ground from coast to coast.

^ Is this the same Blumo that 2FAB posted above? Speaker looks like a match, but not the graphics. See your post in the Sightings II thread where you copied my post from here.

Speaker looks like a match, but not the graphics. I focused ENTIRELY on that speaker, lol. I might have convinced myself it was identical. The Cali Blumo also has a passenger mirror ... I wonder if TK is still keeping track of the recent Blumo's.
