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. Last edited by CC33; 03-24-2011 at 06:51 PM. |

Re: Bonnie & Clyde movie car on ebay
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...

Re: Bonnie & Clyde movie car on ebay
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 .
