A few years ago I wrote the post about how the gangster era came to an end.
It was mostly about how each gangster met his end, which I found fascinating, see that post here.
One of those gangsters, was actually a couple, perhaps the most famous gangster couple to have ever lived: Bonnie & Clyde.
Those of you that know the story will remember that Bonnie & Clyde were ambushed by a posse in the backwoods of Louisiana in the V-8 Ford they had stolen weeks earlier.
The other day we were on a trek and were going through the town of Primm Nevada and decided to stop to see one of the attractions: The "Bonnie & Clyde Death Car".
The owner of the Whiskey Pete's saloon bought the car and had it shipped to Primm.
It is displayed at the Buffalo Bills Casino, across the freeway from Whiskey Petes.
Now before anyone goes claiming that this isn't the real car, I assure you this car has been vetted and comes with the proper receipts.
There are some fakes out there, and some that were used in the movies made about the couple and their infamous demise, but this one is the original.
