Default Re: Bonnie & Clyde movie car on ebay

I found it! The Kruse Auction brochure that I got at the original Bonnie and Clyde Death Car Auction.
Sold with the vehicle at the time were, "3 guns captured with the car, a sub machine gun, 30-30 rifle, and a sawed off shotgun. Also the car had the original license plate, hand cuffs used by the arresting officers and Clyde's brass knuckles".
"Car is mounted on 1 1/2 ton unit, size 8' wide, 26' long, 11' high. Car can be shown to thousands by opening front curtain. Unit can be expanded to 25' x 35' for an enclosed theatre. Film shown first then the audience is invited on to platform for close inspection of car. Personnel Furnished". Ted Toddy was the owner at the time.

I just returned from a trip to Montana on I-15 via Primm NV (CA-NV state line) approximately 50 miles south of Vegas.. The Bonnie/Clyde '34 Ford is located inside of Whiskey Pete's Casino in the lobby area.. There is a glass enclosure around the car.. The car is the real deal..
Sitting next to the '34 in another glass enclosure is a '32 Lincoln K model.. It is also a gangster car having belonged to Dutch Schultz...

No info to back it up but I would think keys left in cars would have been something he looked for . Dealing with a locked steering column from a 33-34 on the workbench in the basement isn't much fun and doing it quick in a driveway would be difficult to say the least . Ignition is no issue but the steering lock is . Chicagoing a 34 ain't gonna happen . That is slang for the common method of stealing newer GM cars .
