The Blues Brothers

Was my inspiration to get into land yachts.

First the Impala - purchased only a few months after watching the movie. Great cheap fun. I went from a Fiat 500 to this .............

Then the Buick Riviera. More decadent.

65 Riviera 1

Finally, the closest I got to the Bluesmobile - a big block 1978 Chrysler Cordoba - purchased for $300 at Little Eddies Used Cars in Tampa. Straight thru exhaust, trashed suspension, broken air con, broken heater, no cigarette lighter :~)
I drove it over 10,000 miles in a couple of months and sold in LA for $250. Sorry for the crap piccy of a piccy - originally taken somewhere in New Mexico or maybe Arizona.

I still love the Blues Brothers and would kill for a boattail 72 Buick Riviera - But my current home simply will not take a land yacht.
