The Blues Brothers

Thanks for contributing to the article. For the 1971 addition, could you point out where in the commentary/special features it says this so it can be verified? I have the 25th anniversary edition and can take a look if you point me in the right direction. A simple Google search says 1974 for the majority of sites I visited, so a source will need to be added for the conflicting year. If you have any questions, let me know. --Happy editing!

hey pal it is a 1971 dodge not a 74 like you think and i don't remember exactly where it is said but it is said in the commentary/special features and i have watched the Blues Brothers hundreds of times —Preceding unsigned comment added by 3rdBluesBrother (talk • contribs) 15:27, 21 November 2009

Sorry, but "I don't remember" is not a reliable source. Please refrain from making this edit again unless you can come up with something more specific. Also, in talk pages it's considered good form to sign your posts. Kevin Forsyth (talk) 22:14, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

how does anybody know that you are right? it is a 71 dodge not a 74 thank you very much signed the 3rdBluesBrother 3rdBluesBrother (talk | contribs) 21:27, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Not so, it's a '74. How do I know? Well, I can answer your question in two ways.

First, the page you've been editing, The Blues Brothers (film), has been stable with regard to this particular fact for quite some time. At present, you're the only editor contending it's a '71, and you haven't provided any citations to support your claim. Does that automatically mean the page is right? No — but it does mean that consensus tends to think it is. If you think consensus is wrong, the best way to change that is to provide reliable sources.

Second, why don't you try a simple Google image search? I did, and here's what I found: this site, with two clear views of a '71 Monaco's front grille; this site, with a link to a '74 image; and this site, with the classic shot of Jake and Elwood sitting on the hood of the Bluesmobile. Do you see how the hood of the '74 Monaco — and that of the Bluesmobile — curves around the top of the headlights, while the '71 hood runs straight across from fender to fender?

The answer is plain as day. Whatever was said on the commentary track, either they got it wrong, or you misheard them. Cheers. Kevin Forsyth (talk) 23:30, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Look it is a 71 Dodge and not a 74 as you so claim and what exactly makes you so right about the Blues Mobile being 74? - 3rdBluesBrother —Preceding unsigned comment added by 3rdBluesBrother (talk • contribs)

Guess what: nothing I've said here proves I'm right that it's a '74. In fact, I have no way of knowing that it's not, say, a '73 or a '75 — for all I know, their grilles are exactly the same as a 74's. All I know is that the photos I linked to above clearly demonstrate that the Bluesmobile cannot possibly have been a '71, because the front end is very obviously different. Did you even bother to look at the pics? Until you do, I'm done discussing this with you. Kevin Forsyth (talk) 23:33, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

the pics prove nothing they could have been altered for all i know i still say it is a 71 not a 74 like you so claim. - 3rdBluesBrother —Preceding unsigned comment added by 3rdBluesBrother (talk • contribs) 18:50, 11 December 2009

So you keep insisting. Can you cite any reliable source to support your claim? Given the anecdotal evidence I've provided to the contrary, I believe you cannot. Please do so, or leave it alone.
