Blues Brothers-era Monaco

Nice job on the Dodge.  I remember when Milwaukee gave up on the black and white sheme and went to sky blue and white and my Dad said they looked like taxis.  Mercifully, Milwaukee went back to black and white this year.  Your build brought back some neat memories.

Nice job.The only thing stopping me from getting this kit is the hot rod looking wheels.

If they ever produced a 1974 Monaco kit,I'd buy a ton of them.The Bluesmobile would be the first version I'd do.

Roger on the racing wheels (and the sport mirrors), which I believe survive from the kit's "Dukes of Hazard" version. I usually build things that fly or float, so the spares box didn't offer any useful alternatives.

Judging from the number of Bluesmobile diecasts that have been put out over the years, you'd thing a real Monaco might be a good seller. Don't have high hopes we'll see it, though.

Thanks for the kind comments.

One can always hope!

There would be no limit to the number of emergency vehicles you could build.

Just pondering something here....was this the same type of car used in "Hill Street Blues"?

Great job on the car!  It took me a while to realize those were pictures of the model and not the actual car!  Major thumbs up on the model and the photography!

and my Dad said they looked like taxis. 

Not as much as Ontario. how many people jump in the back of these and ask to be taken to the airport?

WOW!  That makes Milwaukee's (and Chicago's) cruisers look great.  What were those crazy Canadians thinking?!

You have heard Joni Mitchells song "Big Yellow Taxi".

That's what she is talking about.
