Speaking of Clyde Barrow's 1934 V8 Ford car, I wonder if the
real one is in a museum or not.
When I was a kid growing up in a rural area of northcentral Arkansas, small carnivals came to our town each year. One of the standard "exhibits" was "The Original, Authentic, One And Only, Genuine 1934 V8 Ford that Bonnie & Clyde Were Killed In! Yessir, folks, for only 25 cents, two dimes and one nickel, one quarter of a dollar cash money, you can go in this here tent right here behind me and see the Ford car where Bonnie and Clyde were killed, bullet holes, blood and all!! Step right up, folks. Yessir, thank you, thank you!!"
Thing was, what those smart carnie people did was to buy some old beatup 1934 -- usually -- V8 Ford, take it out in a cow pasture, shoot it all to pieces with several caliber firearms, throw a bunch of cow's blood on it, put it on a trailer and tow it to various small towns to draw in the suckers. (Hey, as a kid, I was a sucker and laid down that hard earned quarter to see it, too!)
These small carnivals did it all over the country! At one time, I'd bet there were a couple dozen "Genuine, Authentic, Original, 1934 V8 Ford Bonnie & Clyde!!" cars making the rounds of the carnival circuits.
I ain't hardly that gullible anymore but still, I wonder what ever happened to them all?
