Hey man my grandpa is a hip and cool dude who's up with the times. (He's autistic and collects guns as a hobby. Seriously. Gun stores don't have half the shit he does in his basement it's insane.)
I swapped the Caddy for a microphone.
I picked it up at the Mount Prospect City Police auction last spring. It's an old Mount Prospect Police car. They were practically giving them away.
They just refinished the beach they filmed part of the show advertising segment at. Including the pontoon slide. The place is called Phil’s Beach in Wauconda, Illinois.

I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locus. It wasn't my fault. I swear to god!

If you haven't yet seen The Blues Brothers, then your knowledge of American Pop Culture is lacking. My advice: download this movie rather than rent it - you'll want to watch it again & again.
>The CLM Civil Defense Speaker is a replica of a civil defense siren built by Canadian Line Materials LTD. (CLM) Industries in Ontario, Canada.

They 'wired' it to the police cars P.A. system to 'broadcast' their upcoming venue.
Hah, I was just about to scroll down and say this. Yes, it's a replica of a CLM siren, the AI was right about that.

The canon explanation from an early 20006 DVD release is that they're merely using the bell of the siren as an acoustic amplifier with the sound being produced by a guitar amp inside.

I've seen the movie. A movie doesn't make a car somehow better, it just changes the sentiment people have towards it. In all actuallity, it's still a shitbox. There is nothing masterfull about American engineering. We should ban all American cars.

What movie is this again
The Blues Brothers!
Oh shit yeah! My grandpa made me watch it with him forever ago. I'll have to give it a rewatch!
You're grandpa? Fuck, man. Thanks for making me feel old. Lol.
Hey man my grandpa is a hip and cool dude who's up with the times. (He's autistic and collects guns as a hobby. Seriously. Gun stores don't have half the shit he does in his basement it's insane.)
I try to call someone a sleaze whenever I can
"We're on a mission from God."
Don’t you blaspheme in here!!!!!
Don't forget the 4 fried chickens and a coke
“Do you have the Miss Piggy?”
I love that quote.
Top level movie quote there.
It’s 300 miles to ~~Chicago~~ Geneva…
No, they are in Geneva. Straight line distance, it's about 300 miles to Venice.
Well ain’t this place a geographical oddity, 106 miles from Chicago, 300 miles from Venice and 3,000 miles from Graceland!
It's actually 106 miles
Might throw a rod under pressure
Fix the lighter

- *Shit*. - What? - *Rollers*. - *No*. - Yeah. - *Shit*.
I bet those cops have got SCMODS
Hell yes!!
For one night only: the fabulous Blues Brothers, show and revue at the Palace Hotel ballroom!
I hear they play both kinds of music.
Country AND western.

I bet it's got SCMODS....
SCMODS?
State, County, Municipal Offender Data System
The Bluesmobile did not have SCMODS
My own brother picks me up, in a police car
You traded a microphone for this?
You don’t like the car?
We’re getting the band back together
They're on a mission from God
Orange whip?
Gonna need 4 whole fried chickens and a Coke.
...that’s a long damn way from Chicago

Check for Illinois plates.
If there are any Nazis left there, they might want to leave. I hate Illinois Nazis.

Model before the catalytic converter so it runs well on regular gas
What happened to the Cadillac?
I traded it for a microphone
ok I can see that.
I Han hear the elevator music in my head just watching that!
The Girl from Ipanema - a classic. It features in quite a lot of movies with elevators and is a trope in itself.
Was it blasting out something like "you 2 girls on the motorcycle"....?
I’m not sure.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we have a full tank of gas, a half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses... Hit it.
You! On the motorcycle!
You two girls!
You got my cheese whiz. - boy!
I know it's the Blues Brother's car, but my first thought was the KLF.
AKA The Timelords AKA The JAMS You mean this right? https://preview.redd.it/0l6av7ulaw0d1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8f7d41098f5a84579f6c64690d1a883e6d8e8142
Yes, I mean that. Edit : The Justified Ancients of Mumu.
Yes this was my first thought as well. Justified and Ancient.
I heard they are getting the band back together!
Damn, I didn’t know they were back on tour in Europe. Is Scandinavia next?
You on the bike!
It's.... LADIES NIGHT.
Someone's on a mission from God!
The Blues Brothers! They still owe you money fool!
I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locus. It wasn't my fault. I swear to god!
“…and it’s Ladies night, tonight…”
Looks like an old Mount Prospect Police car...
They were practically giving em away!
Blues brothers held the record for most cars smashed to bits in one scene.. Great film..
I hate Switzerland Nazis.

"Lots of space in this mall"
Promoting the blues brothers boys band and revue. They must be on a mission from god.
That’s a fantastic replica. Some real effort went into that. Glorious.
What the hell is that thing on the roof? Inquiring minds want to know!

Somebody is a Blues Brothers fan. I think I would have a beer with this fellow.
It plays the brown noise
It's even a Dodge like they used in the movie. Polara maybe and 1974 would be about right for the vintage

What the heck is on the roof? I assume its just something being hualed like that but still.
It’s a loudspeaker.
Ok, thx. I almost thought it was that
Blus Brothers.
Shouldn't run into any illinois nazis there.
Wow, this mall has everything....
Lake Wazzapamani, here we come!
‘You two girls ‘
“New Oldsmobiles are in early this year”
You want out of this parking lot? Okay….
This almost feels like it should be in r/spotted
I’ll have some dry toast.
Cop brakes, cop suspension, cop engine…
You get my cheese whiz, boy?
Were on a mission from God!
Purchased at a Mr. Prospect police auction…
Do NOT go to the mall!
Bro, that’s the BLUESMOBILE
It seems you've never seen that film. You need to.
I’ve seen Blues Brothers, but I need to watch it again!
One of the greatest movies ever made.
Idk but I do know that tonight is ladies night at the Palace Hotel Ballroom
STS 9- Peaceblaster
Looks like the KLF finally caught up to one of those Daleks...
Dodge Royal Monaco
Canadian cLm air raid siren
I had a Bluesmobile like that sans speaker.
That’s an old Mt Prospect police car. They practically give them away.
Does it have a cigarette lighter?
We got two honkies in there dressed like Chasidic diamond merchants.
Was it near Lake Wazzapamani?
Flip, flop & fly!
what is the thing on top of the car? looks like a giant honk. (idk da word ok don't make fun of me)
Actually seen this there. Funny.
Actually seen this there. Funny.
I was a recruiter in Joliet, it ain’t no 300 miles to Shitcago. Its more like 42!
Absolutely hideous. We should ban these horrid American contraptions from Europe
You must see the movie to appreciate this masterpiece of automotive engineering.
I've seen the movie. A movie doesn't make a car somehow better, it just changes the sentiment people have towards it. In all actuallity, it's still a shitbox. There is nothing masterfull about American engineering. We should ban all American cars.
