Check out this cool dude in Amboy, Indiana with his girl and his Model "A".

Take a good look and check out his jacket.

Could that be Pretty Boy Floyd? He was shot by G-men in 1934 in Ohio.

Not the same guy in the two photos. The first one looks like Paul Newman. Maybe that's his papa, Alfred E.

More likely a flask in lieu of a pistol.
