    It's a weird feeling. We know what happened, and where, as we realize, they unaware of what was about to take place, ate their last meals...That museum is amazingly well stocked! I hope to see it, one day. *Thanks for taking us with you, Nick...The way they died was horrendous, but the innocent lives they took, came to an end, because of their deaths...

    The Museum was started by [My Former Boss] Ken Holmes Jr and Ted Hinton's Son "Boots" Hinton. They originally had a museum in Downtown Dallas Texas (On Jefferson Blvd.) and then moved it to Gibsland because the rent was too expensive in Dallas and they were usually in Gibsland for festivals and celebrations. Ken passed in 2012 and Boots in 2016. I believe the Death Car photos have Ken in the Cowboy hat. I am unaware of them ever calling that car the genuine death car as the Death Car has been in Primm Valley Casino in Nevada. The car Ken purchased is the car that was used in the Bonnie and Clyde movie. Ken was also a researcher and expert in the JFK Assassination (He Appeared as an Extra in the movie) and wrote books, newspapers, and gave talks. He believed (So he told me) that Charles Harrelson, the father of Woody Harrelson, who was a contract killer (Died in jail for having killed a San Antonio Judge) was the man on the Grassy Knoll. Interesting that his son would go on to portray a Law Man associated with another Dallas related tragedy and would appear at Ken's Museum. BTW I just saw your part one video of sites in Dallas related to Bonnie and Clyde. I've visited both graves often. I stop in and see Bonnie and her Mom once or twice a year. From the cafe, going west through the Swiss Avenue neighborhood there were a few buildings that have been removed or repurposed. One was a glass and mirror company that Clyde did deliverers for. I often wonder if at lunchtime might the guys working at the glass shop have stopped in the local diner where Bonnie was working and possibly gotten a glimpse at his future companion. I guess we will never know.

      ⁠@@larryhullinger4141it’s no longer housed at the Whiskey Pete’s property, or at least it wasn’t the last time I visited. The whole stateline area is owned/operated by Primm Valley resorts and they have since acquired other vehicles and crime memorabilia from the early 20th century. They are house across the highway at the Primm Valley Resort. The B&C car was housed from the late 80s until the late 90s or early 2000s at Whiskey Pete’s before moving to a bigger venue.

    Actually, some of those photos were found in the film of a camera that was left behind at the garage apartment in Joplin Missouri after they fled when a police raid was attempted and they had to shoot their way out to escape in their car. Those included the famous photos of Bonnie holding Clyde at mock gunpoint and of Bonnie with her foot on a fender, pistol in her hand and cigar in her mouth which were printed isn the newspaper. Those were the first photos the public had a chance to see what they looked like.

    I was curious as to whether they had had the opportunity to eat their sandwiches or not since it was only 7 miles up the road from the restaurant. Seems Clyde died hungry.
    I saw the Bonnie and Clyde movie when it first came out at the movie theaters in '67. I was only 10. Sort of surprised now that they allowed me in with all the violence and shooting and killing depicted in the movie, I went by myself. I still vividly remember Fay Dunaway's partially nude scene at the window. Pretty hot stuff for a 10 year old back then! 🤣

    • @TravelswithNick
