It's a Fake and Full of Holes-- Part 2

The Bonnie and Clyde Deathmobile was so popular that it spurred a bunch of fakes which eventually drew their own law enforcement notoriety.  According to Brian Grams, Volo Auto Museum director: "In effect, Bonnie and Clyde's crime spree continued after death."

He has acquired one of the fake Fords that toured back in the 1930s and plans a live-action display this Memorial Day weekend detailing the history of the real and false exhibits of the era.

Re-enactor Justin Fiorelli will play a huckster, drawing in the crowds to see the bullet-riddled vehicle.

They have not the real original, but one of the original fakes and aren't afraid to say so.

In case you're wondering, (I was), the real Bonnie and Deathmobile is on display at Whiskey Pete's Resort and Casino in Primm, Nevada.

Wonder If It has Blood Stains?  --autom
