John D.:
I really enjoyed that History Channel show they had on (a while back) on Bonnie & Clyde. Much better than the movie. Damn shame what happened to them…that was a nice CAR.

Really gets you thinking how they could have fouind each other, considering thier seemingly OPPOSITE backgrounds. Well, they do say opposites “attract”, and often with volatile consequences.
Roll safe out there.

I’ve actually seen that car. It used to be on display at Whiskey Pete’s casino in Nevada. Damn thing looked like Swiss cheese.

I’ve seen a documentary that included an interview with Clyde’s little sister; she adored him and he was quite kind to her. IIRC, he would make her prison jewelery.
