Outside of the movie? What's the "wired blumo"? Wired magazine? Blumo from the blues brothers "wired" for sound? The movie? What movie is the pic from? |

What movie is the pic from? is the 1989 unauthorized biopic about John Belushi, which reportedly made Dan Aykroyd very upset. They got the Bluesmobile a bit off, using the previous body style. -AZB |

From the original script you mean? What model is this? It's a 73 Monaco. I'm actually surprised they got any kind of Monaco, since usually the untrained eye might confuse a 74 with a Fury, Impala, or LTD and just replace it with one of those.

And for that segment they needed a blumo. So they got/built/had built a 73 monaco to perform the role of the 13+ blumos used in the actual Blues Brothers movie. |

I think it's a '73 Polara, Monacos in '73 had more trim and I can't see the front in the pic but the Monaco had hideaway headlights. |

So this car had 3 seconds of air-time in the entire movie? I'm surprised they made it as close as they did.
I see it for the first few seconds in part 7/12 of the movie here:

I guess we have to be careful, as someone could make a '73 Polara blumo and say that it's "screen accurate". |
