American Cruisers: Dodge Monaco - Expensive Cars 2013

Though not as popular as other mainstream cruisers, the Dodge Monaco still sold decently well, but its legacy is assured thanks to a certain Jake and Elwood Blues. The Monaco doesn't have quite the same cache of cool that the other cars in this series have had. At least, it wouldn't, if it weren't for one fact. The Dodge Monaco served as the Bluesmobile in the 1980 film "The Blues Brothers," and that makes it a cool car no matter what. Of course, there were plenty of other things to like about the Monaco, and really, anything available as a convertible and with a 440 V8 qualify as a cruiser. The Monaco was first thought up as a competitor to the Pontiac Grand Prix, which had debuted in 1962.
