    I am curious if any of you happen to have links to photos of one or both of the 1949 Ford sedans driven by Ed Gein or Chuck Starkweather?

    Starkweather-- isn`t that the crazy guy back in the 50`s that went on a killing spree in Iowa and Nebraska. He drove a 49 Ford.

    What about the school bus driven by Charles Manson?

    Most accounts (likely just cribbing from a single source, as per SOP for the internet) say Gein's '49 Ford sedan was maroon, but I've seen one that said it was white. He transported the woman he killed (Hogan) from the bar to his house in it. Wonder if any of it's parts are on any HAMBers rides...
    I like Gein; real interesting case study.
