These images were taken from The Blues Brothers. Fun movie!

Here's a few normal shots of a few 74 Dodge Monaco's in reality.

The 'Bluesmobile' was a 1974 model Dodge Royal Monaco, an ex-police car bought by Elwood Blues (Dan Aykroyd) at a police auction:

In the ill-fated Blues Brothers 2000, the Bluesmobile was a 1990 Ford Crown Victoria:

Well, the police in my area basically drive these things:

I saw a state trooper like this one pull someone over on my way home.

I've seen a silver caprice like this one appear at the entrance to my neighborhood a couple of times.

Used to catch drivers on their mobile.

I think I saw that on TV today when they announced the new stricter penalties for people using their phones. It was used as you said to film HGV drivers at the same height.
 
How about that, 5.0 Mustangs are still used as police cars afterall.
 
The way that rear wing is fixed on really annoys me.

Dan
The first time I saw it, I thought they attached it on the right side only.
You can't see it, because of the angle, but the spoiler is actually attached to the roof and only supported by the trunk.

Every time I look at this car, it get's worse. Especially those wheels. Look at them! :yuck:
 
The wing and wheels are just ugly
