I have a few shots of that car (including the photo above) They are from Tavares, Florida - Winter 2007. The divider is a piece of foam core board. The kind you buy at the craft store, for school projects and so forth.

Ahh yes, I remember it now. Someone referred to it as a 'pillar insert' which is a suitable description I'd say. I didn't know it was a foam core board. I found one pic I saved of it ...

Are these pics the same Blumo? The speaker, and smaller speaker are the same. Both have '77 rear bumpers. Graphics and star are different. Bottom Blumo seems to be missing it's spotlight and driver side mirror.

It is the Universal Studios, Florida Monaco.
Funny thing is... I have 55 photos of this car and all of them, with the exception of two, look like the bottom photo.
The two odd photos are of the alternate door star version. The drivers side photo (shown above), and one of the passenger side.
Other indications that they are the same car:
I have photos showing both versions with the same bent pushbars, the same letters missing from the front of the hood, and both have the same "number 10" decal, on the front bumper.
I believe the top photo was taken earlier than the bottom photo. I'm 99% positive that the car arrived at Universal, in the condition shown in the top photo, and judging by the door star, it was originally purchased from Rick Shields. The back and forth spray paint, over the star, is pretty much a give-away that it was done by Shields as I believe every car sold by him has the same spray job.
I believe Universal repainted the car sometime between 2007 and 2008. That is also about the time it lost its drivers mirror and spotlight.
* The car has since gotten another modification. Now there are two eye bolts drilled and mounted to the top front of the hood, to hold the roof speaker tie-downs.

The car with the "In memory of..." door star, is one that we have seen before.
It is a Gran Fury.
There is one more photo of it floating around the web (that I can't seem to find right now). It is a vacation type photo, showing the car in front of a hotel, with a blonde girl standing in front of it.

They are different cars. The abandoned car belongs to the HoB there.
The above car is still rolling, inside the park. The latest pictures that I have of it are dated: Summer 2010.
It is. That is their 1979 Chrysler Newport. The latest photos I have of that car are from Fall 2010.
