Re: Bonnie and Clyde
Banks don't pay enough interest now days to make it much worth having a bank account anymore.
I just wonder how many cars the B&C gang stole during their spree. I doubt that they bought many if any at all. They weren't much on paying for stuff. It was easier to take it and leave the broke down car for the unfortunate previous owner. |

Re: Bonnie and Clyde
I agree they were far from the peoples heroes they are betrayed as. I have however read conflicting accounts regards Bonnies involvement in the killing of the police officers, I have read that the witness that linked her to the shootings was less than reliable but am unsure as to how accurate this information is . I seem to remember some one who posts on here ( maybe you ?} is related to one of the officers killed -Karl

Re: Bonnie and Clyde
Man, forget that raggedy ol' Ford. Look at that antique "EL" train in the background. DD

The name change to the FBI in 1932 was important - but the biggest factor in the creation of a federal police agency was J. Edgar Hoover.

Re: Bonnie and Clyde
Sort of. The FBI wasn't charged with enforcement of the Volstead Act. Further, Hoover denied the existence of organized crime for most of his tenure. Any police official who gained any measure of recognition was seen by Edgar as a threat to his position as THE preeminent cop. That's in large measure why Melvin Purvis (who actually hunted and shot Dillinger) was forced out of the FBI.
Hoover was big on using statistics to trumpet bureau success. Mobster activities didn't lend themselves to good numbers. This was due in part to the lack of comprehensive federal criminal code.

Re: Bonnie and Clyde
Details of the 1934 Ford De Luxe Fordor used by Clyde Barrow on May 23, 1934:
1934 Ford De Luxe Fordor # 18-649198 was manufactured at River Rouge, Michigan in February 1934. It was sold by Mosley-Mack Motor Company, Topeka, KS, in April 1934 to Miss Ruth Warren of 2107 Gabler Street, Topeka, KS. The car, Cordoba Gray, was equipped with an Arvin Hot Water Heater, Metal Spare Tire Cover, Front and Rear Bumper Guards, Chrome Greyhound Radiator Cap, and the Potter Mfg Accessory Trunk. The car was stolen from Miss Warren's driveway in Topeka on April 29, 1934. The Kansas license plate was 3-17832. |

Re: Bonnie and Clyde
I think there are currently multiple versions of this car displayed around the country. I think I heard the original is in "Whiskey Pete's" in Nevada.
I saw what was supposed to be this car at the Minnesota State Fair in the early sixties. |

Re: Bonnie and Clyde
Yes, but there is only one original and it is very easy to tell the original from the replicas. Agreed, the last I heard was that the real B&C car was on display in Nevada.
