Al Capone's last ride, a 1946 Packard Clipper, is on display at the American Packard Museum in Dayton, Ohio. His chauffeur was "Motorcycle Mike". When the deep blue sedan was being prepped for display, several empty machine gun cartridges where found under the back seat.
Yea, I was buying this until it got to that part. Really just says those with large amounts of dough usually prefer nice things. They probably didn't drink cheap wine either.
Wrong about Dillinger. His car of choice was a Hudson Terraplane 8 like the one he was shot in front of and the one he owned in the Crime Museum today.
My favorite is the Thunderbird, Lincoln Continental Mark IV, Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, Buick Park Avenue, Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight, Lincoln Town Car.
Their sons and nephews all drove Chevy Camaro IROC-Zs back in the day. ("Why don't you just get in your...IROC-Z28 and take your ass home?" -Eddie Murphy, "Raw")
@gaddyify I remember Tony Soprano always drove a Cadillac. The movies such as Goodfellas, Donnie Brosco, Casino, American Gangster, The Irishman. The cars of choice is a Cadillac.
In my opinion the 1980 to 1992 fleetwood and the 1956 Lincoln mk 2 are the two most beautiful production cars ever developed. And they just both happen to be in this video.
Roy DeMeo had a brand new 1983 Cadillac fleetwood the year that he met his demise. He was found in the trunk, 10 days later after they parked it in the parking lot of the Veruna boat club in sheepshead bay Brooklyn.
My cars of choice would be anything from the Cadillac & Lincoln lines. I noticed that almost all chose North American brands, with John Gotti being the only one picking Mercedes Benz.
@@UberLummox depends were you from. In my case my mobile were writing it with a "k" (German mobile phone). Explicite: Continental was it's own manufacturer in that particular time... Even made by Lincoln and part of the Ford Motor Corporation. They were Coach built, that is why they've got their own marque... Sounds that correct now?
What about Jake the Barber and his two duesenburgs? One of about 25 Murphy convertible coupes built with a conventional folding top, J-143 is believed to have served as a factory branch demonstrator in California before being sold new on 17 May 1932 to Jake "the Barber" Factor of California. Half brother of cosmetics magnate Max Factor, "the Barber" took his nickname from his early training in hair care. He found his millions not in blush, but in bamboozling, running a stock scam in England that ensnared even British royals and netted him $8 million; afterward he fled to France, rigged the tables at the Monte Carlo casino, and literally broke the bank, then took his newfound riches home to the United States. Tried in absentia by the UK courts, he arranged a "kidnapping" to avoid extradition. The ploy worked, and Factor remained in the US, eventually relocating to Las Vegas, where he wound up his, shall we say, "storied" career running the Stardust for the mob. Jake "the Barber" kept the Murphy convertible coupe for only a few months prior to trading up to the "disappearing top" torpedo convertible coupe J-249-but they were undoubtedly an exciting few months. The Duesenberg factory branch in Los Angeles resold the car in July 1932 to Mrs. Reginald Parsons III, wife of a Seattle architect, himself a Model J owner. Afterward the car was apparently acquired by a G.I. and driven into the Midwest, where after World War II it was sold by famed Duesenberg dealer John Troka. After two short-term intervening owners, the Model J returned to Troka, who sold it in 1951 to Dan Lang of Racine, Wisconsin. Lang was an early Duesenberg enthusiast who acquired several of the cars and many parts in the immediate post-war era. He maintained the car in partially restored condition until his passing in 1972, after which J-143 was purchased from his estate by longtime collector Charles Johnson, who had several Model Js during this period.
As a european, hobby historian and a Alfisti, i can add that the mafia in Italy often use/used Alfa Romeo’s. Pre WW2, and some years after that AR was the supercars of the time. Remember, this was before Ferrari and Lamborghini. After WW2 they was fast and agile, but more “normal” smaller cars. Maybe a theme for another video? The movie’s triologi Goodfathers are historicly correct according to the cars they drove.
Yea, an overall great car! Had tight handling, big interior, and still had style with that rolls style grill. Even better but almost the same was the mark VI.
Anything Cadillac, I drive the CTS coupe, looking at the XT6
Good video
I’m a Chevy/Cadillac guy but those Lincoln’s are sleek! Love em!

Wow i never knew that so cool
Might be hard to believe as Capone had a mind of a 12yr old coming out of prison due to untreated Syphillis
Paul Castellano famously got off'ed in an '80s Lincoln Town Car in NYC.
Yea,
I was buying this until it got to that part.

Once they became "made" men most mobsters no longer drove themselves. They rode with armed guards & drivers.

Cadillac ruled.

By the time the 80s and 90s came, most drove big benz starting withthe 6.9 in the late 70s.. Only the old school old timers drove caddys by that time.
The night Paul Castellano and his Driver/body gaurd were gunned Tommy Bilotti they arrived at the world famous sparks steak house in a Lincoln Towncar
Mobsters also used the Buick Electra & the Riviera.
Thats true
What’s with the interruptions showing just the plain material? What does that represent?
The rendering hit the fan
uuhhh Castellano was shot in a Lincoln not a Caddy and you featured the photo.
The Continental Mark II was a Marke on it's own. They were never marketed as a Lincoln.
I honestly did not know that super cool to know
*Marque

@@mossi408 I thought you meant marque as in manufacturer. I know all about the Mk II - you're correct on that.
I just know the 1956 mk ll was one of the most beautiful cars ever developed.
Capone’s 1928 Cadillac had a V8 and his 1930 Cadillac have a V16
Johnny Roselli , Charles Nicoletti and James Files drove to n from Dallas in a 63 Impala with a a 409 in it.
