<\/a><\/p>\nI had seen it once before last summer behind the Gas Stop on North Cliff. It had\/has a Wisconsin license plate on it, so at that time I thought I’d never see it again. I think this was the thing that made me decide to get a second digital camera so that I could grab a photo of weird stuff like this when the opportunity presented itself. Today, I had the camera, and now I have the photos .<\/p>\n
It looks like an old civil defense siren strapped to the top of it. Not sure if there is a purpose for it or if it’s just there for shock value. I do know I’d hate to be in front of it when he cranks it up.<\/p>\n Wonder what kind of gas mileage it gets; that horn can’t help that old Dodge’s aerodynamics a bit.<\/p>\n Edit: <\/em><\/strong>Turns out there is a name for it; a Bluesmobile!<\/a> Apparently there are folks around that feel the need to emulate the cars driven by Jake & Elwood.<\/a> Go figure. I don’t know that the car I saw in Sioux Falls last week was the same one pictured at the link; the horn is different, the pallet\/speaker mount is much different, the markings on the doors are different, the nerf bars are different, and most notably, there are no ropes! So, I guess this could be considered a knockoff of a knockoff!<\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\nNo explanation about the speaker on top though.<\/del> EDIT:<\/strong> Of course the speaker on top is emulating the speaker used in the movie by Jake & Elwood to get the word out about their concert. Had to watch the movie again to figure that out.<\/em><\/p>\n
