It would be interesting to know if it's still around. They were making a getaway in another '33 standard 5W that they stole in Oklahoma and plunged it into the Red River around Wellington, TX. Flattop Bob in Wellington says the car stayed around in Wellington for a while after being repaired and then was sold and disappeared 40 years ago. Bob says the lady at the scene that was shot in the hand used to make cookies for his Dad when he was a kid. Here is some info and pics:
