The Blues Brothers, it's not just a car, it's a character. This 1:18 scale die-cast replica of that famous car features the highest quality construction and fantastic attention to detail. It is a must have item for any true fan. After burning up the airwaves on Saturday Night Live, John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd took their characters, Jake and Elwood Blues to the big screen with an action packed comedy the captured America's imagination. As Jake and Elwood struggle to reunite 'The Band' and save the Chicago orphanage where they were raised, they wreak havoc across Cook County and surrounding area. And when they need to get the word out about their 'Fabulous Rhythm and Blue Revue,' they mount a giant speaker to the roof and drive from Calument City to Indiana Beach announcing the show.

Along the way they inadvertently destroy shopping malls, public buildings, and more Chicago Police cars than you can count. In the end, after a series of amazing acrobatic moves that would have rendered other vehicles to scrap, like a loyal friend The Bluesmobile gets the brothers where they need to be and promptly falls to pieces.
