It's a mid sized B body Monaco, not the full sized C body used in the Blues Bros. Still a cool model.

Uh yeah, thanks. But until a C-body model is released, you kind of have to work with what's available, right?

awsome car do you have more pics you could send me of it and the details on how you built it i am espesially interested in how you did the pealed of door decal and what you used for rope on the speaker and how you faded the decals that are left on i would appreciate it very much i would love to make one

This is the only picture I have of that model. It is long gone now. I have since painted up as something else. The Bluesmobile scheme was the second time I decided to repaint that model. It started out as a white Chicago car and I think it's the blue/white Wisconsin SP Monaco now.

The body of the car was painted in satin black and then spritzed with both flat and gloss black at the same time. The P-1 on the door was scratched out with an Xacto-Knife as were the body scratches. An emery board was used to put wiper marks on the windshield. I was able to give the markings that faded look by applying the decals and then coloring over them with a water-based (NON-PERMANENT) black marker and wiping it off before it dried.

The speaker is a cough syrup bottle cap measuring cup on a balsawood roof bracket and the rope is tan heavy-duty thread.

It was actually pretty simple to build.
