1934 Ford V8 - Bonnie and Clyde Death Car

Bonnie and Clyde were small. She was 4’11” and less than 100 pounds; he was 5’6” and weighed 125. 13 people had died, and on the morning of May 23, 1934, cops set up an ambush in Gibsland, Louisiana.

Ford launched a new model for 1932. The V-8 was marketed as the Model 18 in its initial year, and was commonly called the Ford V‑8. It had the new flathead 3.6-litre V8 engine. The Model 18 was the first mass marketed car with a V8 engine. It's output was 85 hp.

The 1934 Ford V-8 is infamous as being the vehicle in which Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were ambushed and killed. Bonnie and Clyde stole the car from Ruth Warren's garage in May 1934. On May 23, 1934, they were traveling in the sedan in Bienville Parish, Louisiana, when a posse opened fire and riddled their car with bullets.

There are many fakes. The real Bonnie and Clyde Death Car has long been parked at its home casino in Primm, Nevada. Accompanying the car is Clyde's shredded shirt of death, perforated with a number of ragged holes in both the front and back.
