Hi All -

Special event in Ottawa in need of Bluesmobile for one night. Anyone in the vicinity?

Thanks,
Adam

- To the best of my knowledge there is no Bluesmobile in Ottawa. There used to be, a very nice one owned by "mbmopar" but it was sold out of the province years ago. All I could suggest at this time is maybe get in contact with the owners of the Blumo in Montreal. They might still have the car, if they've sold it the car could still be in Montreal. It may not actually be road worthy so if you want to rent that one be prepared to pay to have it trailered to Ottawa. Here's what we know about it ...

Good luck on your mission.

- Thanks to TK for the heads up with a link to the event ...

The St. Lawrence International Film Festival, taking place October 22-25, 2015, has announced its inaugural Opening Gala will feature a 35th Anniversary screening of the American musical comedy classic “The Blues Brothers” featuring the film’s co-creator and star Dan Aykroyd as the Festival’s Honored Guest.

If you still need a Bluesmobile for the event there's a nice one in the Windsor area that belongs to a member here. Not sure if it would even be available but we can always come up with options. That event should have a Blumo.

Thanks for the lead, Steam. Any info on owner?

- Adam, the Windsor Blumo will not be available for this event. However, we have another member that we haven't heard from around here in a bit, also in Ontario, Port Hope I believe. I wasn't 100% certain of his Blumo status but I found him on facebook and sure enough he's currently driving the 3rd Bluesmobile he's owned !! I mentioned there's an inquiry about having a Blumo in Ottawa on October 22nd and he sounded like he could help you out. 'Round here we call him Dugal, his name is Doug, and if you're on facebook you can message him direct ...

It's a clean Blumo! You'll notice it is indeed a 1974 Dodge Monaco sedan with tan interior

- Hey Adam. Dugal is interested, he would like to contact you.
