    From the ad:
    Not that it matters much anymore, but this car was actually used in a bank robbery back in the 1940's. The robbers did not get away. The back seat has a number of bullet holes and when I got it there was a substantial amount of blood staining on the upholstery . The car was purchased by a wealthy oil man down in Brazoria county shortly after just because he liked having a gangster car. He eventually parked the car out in a field, but wouldn't part with it. He died in the late 1990's. I bought the car from his estate and it continues to deteriorate. I hope you have a use for it.

    Ahem, it's a field in TX. Even if it was shot years later by Enron execs, they were bank robbers.

    when we were kids in the mid '70's there were some old cars down the woods... i knew what they were, but the rest of the gang called them "Bonnie and Clyde" cars. they WERE pretty shot up, but not by revenooers; the hicks that owned them used them for target practice. used to get so pissed to see MORE bullet holes in them every time i went over there....

    then again, Texas was pretty populated with outlaws well into recent times.....
