Just watched the chase scene (several actually) from the Blues Brothers movie. Near the end where they are being pursued through the streets of Chicago. Nothing fancy here just old four door sedans traveling at high rates of speed and getting wrecked at a monumental rate. I get a kick out of it every time I see it though!
Got this little snippet from Wikipedia so you know it's 100% correct.
The film used 13 different cars bought at auction from the California Highway Patrol to depict the Bluesmobile, a retired 1974 Mount Prospect, Illinois Dodge Monaco patrol car. The vehicles were outfitted by the studio to do particular driving chores; some customized for speed and others for jumps, depending on the scene. For the large car chases, filmmakers purchased 60 police cars at $400 each, and most were destroyed at the completion of the filming. More than 40 stunt drivers were hired and the crew kept a 24-hour body shop to repair cars.
