Stopped in to grab a Dunkin Donut and looked up, and yes, there it was! Bluesmobile on a Stick. Still very cool!

The Bluesmobile on a Stick in Joliet is not a 1974 Dodge Monaco. It is actually a 1974 Plymouth Fury. The two cars are very close, and many don't know the difference, but that's no Monaco!

[Steve Orlando, 01/09/2018]

Probably whoever stuck it up there figured it was similar enough to pass.

Deterioration by design! The replica of the "Blues Brothers" movie car, a 1974 Dodge Monaco police prowler, is tilted at a rakish angle for better photos.
