Happy Friday you ROTUND RIPPERS and welcome to today’s futuristic AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE! And to celebrate the upcoming TV MiniSeries on Prime, BLADE RUNNER 2099… Fireball busts out RICK DECKARD’S POLICE CAR! Now, Mugshotted!!!

DID YOU KNOW?? The full-sized “Deckard Sedan” Movie Car was built by Gene Winfield, using the chassis, engine and floor pan of a 1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle. In the film’s lore, Deckard’s personal vehicle (Police Sedan Number 56) was an older model that had its flight capabilities stripped and was used only for ground traffic, with added guard wheels and impact bumpers. The vehicle, along with the flying “Spinner,” car design was by the legendary futurist concept artist Syd Mead. The sedan prop made an appearance in other media, including a repair shop scene in the film Trancers (1985) and the music video for the Earth, Wind & Fire song “Magnetic.” Despite plans for 54 vehicles, budgetary constraints meant only 25 total vehicles were built for the film and director Ridley Scott reportedly had most of them destroyed after filming… with only about five surviving the cull.
