From the Whiskey Pete's site.
OK, from yesterday's post, you know that a fake Bonnie and Clyde death car is at the Volo Auto Museum in Illinois, but I got to wondering where the real one was.
THE BONNIE AND CLYDE GETAWAY CAR
You can see it for free at Whiskey Pete's Casino in Primm, Nevada, right on the California border off I-15. People traveling from Los Angeles to Las Vegas pass by the town. It is the car they were in when they were killed in the roadside ambush May 23, 1934 (the other article said it was May 24th). Over 100 shots were fired into it.
The display has the car and the shredded shirt Clyde was wearing that day as well as testimonies of people who witnessed it.
