Bonnie and Clyde Met Their Doom Inside a Stolen Ford DeLuxe Fordor
On May 23, 1934, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow met their demise. The criminal duo was ambushed by police officers as they were driving through a country road somewhere in Bienville Parish, Louisiana. At the time, they were riding a 1934 Ford DeLuxe Fordor. It was a stolen car that was the property of Jesse and Ruth Warren of Topeka, Kansas. A month later, they were shot dead. Reports say that the policemen shot 130 rounds at them, killing each with dozens of gunshot wounds. The vehicle was bullet-ridden and later displayed in different locations. If you want to see it, you should go to Primm, Nevada as it is currently on display at the Whiskey Pete’s Casino.
The Edsel Was An Overhyped Flop
Below, you are looking at Edsel Ford’ three sons at the national press induction of Edsel. To be specific, they are Vice-President in Charge of Product Planning and Styling William Clay Ford, Vice-President and Chairman of Dealer Policy Board Benson Ford, and President of the Ford Motor Company Henry Ford II. Unfortunately, the Edsel proved to be a flop during the time it was produced from 1958 to 1960. Ford put a fortune into this model as he promoted it to be the car of the future. Sadly, customers found it ugly, expensive, and overhyped. The public was not attracted by the vehicle, and only a few units were sold. The company lost more than $250 million on this model.
