Bonnie and Clyde ‘death car’ is back in Primm
The bullet-riddled car driven by the infamous crime duo, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, has returned to public display at Whiskey Pete's in Primm.
The historic "death car," as well as other memorabilia, had been on display at Terrible's Gold Ranch casino in Reno.
In 1934, following a two-year crime spree, Bonnie and Clyde led police on a deadly pursuit across rural America in the V8 Ford. They robbed dozens of banks and killed at least nine people. The couple was ambushed and killed on May 23, 1934, when Louisiana law officers fired more than 100 bullets at the car.
The display includes the battered Ford car, along with Clyde's shredded shirt that he wore the morning of his death and letters of authenticity and small items from the duo's travels. A streaming video includes testimonies from witnesses that saw the capture of the notable two.
