There was a posting here yesterday about Clyde Barrow's death car.  Since 
Bonnie and Clyde were killed May 23, 1934, of course the car could not have 
been a 1937.  Actually the automobile was a 1934 Ford V-8.  Clyde stole the 
automobile from Jessie Warren of Topeka, Kansas.  After the car was filled full 
of holes, and Bonnie and Clyde were removed, the automobile was returned to 
Jessie Warren.  I bet the Warren family has wished a thousand times that they 
had kept the car, but they sold it to a traveling carnavil for $3,000.  The 
next time it was sold it was bought by a casino owner in Primm Nevada for 
$250,000.  A million dollars probably would not touch it today.  At this very 
minute, it is on display at the casino in Verdi, Nevada, West of Reno on the 
California border.  Viewing is free, but you are no longer allowed to sit in 
the car or touch the car.

Here is a real good website if you are interested.
