(64,933 posts)At the time they came with big-block GM engines with heavy duty suspension. They were really cool to be in. The car was an automatic (think it was a turbo-350) and he could chirp the tires going into 2nd and 3rd gears.
The funny thing is he kept the cars completely un-marked as they were when they were police cars.

Elwood: What?
Jake: This car. This stupid car. Where's the Cadillac? The Caddy? Where's the Caddy?
Elwood: The what?
Jake: The Cadillac we used to have. The Blues Mobile!
Elwood: I traded it.
Jake: You traded the Blues Mobile for this?
Elwood: No. For a microphone.
Jake: A microphone? Okay I can see that. Well, what the hell is this?
Elwood: This was a bargain. I picked it up at the Mount Prospect City Police auction last spring. It's an old Mount Prospect Police Car. They were practically giving them away.
Jake: Well, thank you pal, the day I get out of prison, my own brother picks me up in a police car.
