At the Civil Rights museum. Better known as The Loraine Motel.. There's a faint blood spot that still can be seen even decades after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. It's not far from the actual room That Dr. King stayed in.😐 It was also said that some body in the entourage of King's tried to stop the bleeding by using a handkerchief.And the handkerchief that bares the blood stains of Dr.King is on display some where.😐

There was a renewed interest in this car after the Warren Beatty movie came out in 1967. It had done the state fair circuits for years but had been mothballed! I saw it in person in 1971 as a small lad… Madison Wisconsin. We stood in line to get a closer look and the guy who is running the operation said to me “ come on up here a little feller and take a better look..! “ he picked me up and put me on the running board on the passenger side to look in the window. It smelled like an old car but there were two mannequins in the front seat dressed in the actual clothes that Bonnie and Clyde were shot to death in. The scene was very macabre and I will never ever forget standing on the side of that car! Two years later in 1973 my father was reading the newspaper after dinner and said “ hmmmm. That Bonnie and Clyde car that we saw just sold for $350,000…”

The B&C Death Car is fascinating; however, the guns that were in that car when they were killed are also very interesting. I read that all of those guns were given to the law enforcement guys (who killed B&C). They occasionally turn up in auctions, etc. Back in 2012, the 38 Cal. Police Special that Bonnie Parker had taped to her thigh when she was killed sold at auction for $254,000. A lot of collectors were bidding on that gun.

She was a minor witness in the JFK assassination investigation because she as a dispatcher recorded the departure and arrival of the cab Lee Harvey Oswald hailed shortly after the assassination. She was known as Blanche Frasure and had also dispatched the O'neal Ambulance service to rush Oswald to Parkland after he was shot by Jack Ruby.

I seen the death car back in 1993/4 @ the Ohio State Fair in Columbus, OH. They also had one of Clyde’s Tommy Gun’s on display as well. A great memory for sure! And you two get to enjoy as well! Great video, thanks for all the work you put in on the road! Drive safe!!!!

he hacksawed off the BAR barrel just in front of the gas ejection tube and abbreviated the stock, lightening it and shortening it.they weigh 19 lbs and are long to get out of a vehicle.the Thompson only shot pistol bullets

I visited Bonnie and Cylde's death spot recently and I must say that it still has that feel from May 23,1934 accept for the road being paved. Nothing around for miles.

When I visited Whiskey Pete’s around 1993 the Bonnie and Clyde car was roped off instead of enclosed with plexiglass. The price for a room for two people was $22 and they were nice. I had no idea at the time their car was even there. Miss those truck driving days seeing the history and beauty of this country.

A Bonnie and Clyde Death Car is an iconic roadside relic, which explains why at least seven of them are currently on display in various American attractions: the real car, the movie car, and five fake cars (A sixth fake was destroyed when the Wax Museum of the Southwest burned in Grand Prairie, Texas).

Can imagine the look on bonnie and Clyde's faces when driving down a dirt road like nothing happened just another day being murderers bank robbers then they see nothing but rangers and police officers out of nowhere start shooting with the Tommy gun shot guns I would say sh--------- lol ha ha

Clyde never knew what hit him as the first shot fired vented his skull, Bonnie had an awful end though and was heard screaming until she was finally overcome by shots.

There were several “death cars” on display at one time. For instance, I saw one at a museum in Gatlinburg Tennessee in 1982. It was the wrong color and bullet holes did not match the ones in photos taken after the ambush.

@lookingforwyatteearp31373 жыл бұрын
I have been there and saw the car. It is the real deal. I compared the photos of that car to photos of the ambush. Every bullet hole is dead on accurate. Matches up oerfect to the photod. The shirt full of bullet holes and blood stains that Clyd was killed in on display there is eeerie. It's really a great piece of history.
@rjb53823 жыл бұрын
Obviously you didn’t match up the three holes above the back window. The spacing is wrong for the bullet hole farthest to the left. There is more space between those two holes in the original photo than they are on this car. It’s a good fake but a fake nevertheless. Someone went to a lot of trouble to make it look legit, but every single little detail is almost impossible to get perfect, especially when you have the original film footage of the death car to compare it to.

I first saw the "death car" at Whiskey Pete's almost 50 years ago, when the establishment wasn't much more than a small roadside diner with a few slot machines. The place has changed, but they managed to hold on to the car through the intervening years.

Did you know the car was stolen from a lady in Oklahoma? (I think …it might’ve been a different state) The Ranger that executed them, without a trial, thought he could keep it and make money off it. He refused to return it. The lady sued him for her stolen car back and won. Bonnie and Clyde were both very short. Blanche Barrow kept a diary, in prison. She wrote down everything they did, and what life was actually like on the road. How Bonnie almost burned to death and could barely walk, Clyde used to carry her. Also how Clyde walked with a limp and couldn’t really run because he cut his toes off in his first prison stint. You guys should check it out.

My family property is about 4 miles south of the B and C ambush site south of Arcadia Louisiana. My dad and grandmother saw their bodies when the death car was towed into Arcadia in May 1934. Dad was 5 years old and didn't remember it. My grandmother rarely talked about it.

Clyde actually wrote a letter to Henry Ford thanking him for building such a fast and reliable car with the V-8 engine. The 1934 Ford V-8 had a whopping 85 hp, just to show you how far cars have come.

OMG! I love Whiskey Pete's! Talk about a flash from the past! Being from California- we call that small collection of casinos that are there "State-line"- becase it is just past the border into NV. I have a feeling that I will be going crazy in the "comments" when I begin to see places I recognize from years ago in upcoming videos!
