silver and black car engine

In 1934 this vehicle cost about $460. Later many were converted into street hot rods. The original offered optional pinstriping, twin chromed horns, and elaborate wood graining.It became famous after Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were ambushed and killed in Iowa in one (which they had stolen on their crime spree). Clyde was so thrilled with the car he wrote Henry Ford in Detroit saying, in part, "For sustained speed and freedom from trouble the Ford has got every other car skinned and even if my business hasn't been strickly legal."
