Talking Anyone know what happend to this 33 5w

This was the getaway car used by Bonnie & Clyde on 11-22-33 near Sowers Texas . They were attempting to have a family party but law enforcement knew of it and had an ambush setup . The four guys in the other pic opened fire on them but they escaped with lacerations and a flat rear tire . Ted Hinton is the guy in the center of the pic with the lighter colored hat . He was the guy that took the movie at the time of their deaths . All the stuff on the table came out of the 5 w . This is the car in the pic { that i can't figure out how to get from a book to a computer } of them with a black 33 coupe behind them and the 33 locking spare cap in plain sight . The film that pic was on was recovered from this car - might have been in her camera ? Don't remember . The second pic is after recovery as Bonnie & Clyde were not seriously hurt and escaped . This is also the car that taught law enforcement that " Tommy Guns " weren't much good against the sturdy steel of the Ford bodies . Next time they used 30.06 BAR 's with armor piercing rounds . We all know how that turned out . Anyway does anyone have any more info on this car ? Pics ? I would think this 5w would be in the running for one of the most expensive 33 ' s due to it's fascinating history David J
