At the Civil Rights museum. Better known as The Loraine Motel..

If you're curious as to why there are no obvious blood stains on Clyde's shirt, it's because it was given back to his mother who took it home and washed it.
@@shanebriggs1039Most likely it was one of the cars used to chase them given the few glimpses of it it looked law enforcement.. could even be their first car.. i definitely wish he would've talked about it too lol
Back in the 60's they used to haul the Bonnie & Clyde car around in a semi trailer truck. They'd park it in a shopping center parking lot and charge admission to see the car. I saw it when I was a kid.
My mom was in college when they were on their rampage. Years later she told us that every day on the radio they would listen to what state they were in because it was constantly changing. And then one day they got them. I compared the bullet holes in this car to the bullet holes in an old photograph of the car and they line up perfectly. This is the real deal. It was very cool to be there.
The front window has been changed. The passenger side window had more bullet holes in it where Bonnie was sitting!! They left the other windows alone tho.
There was a renewed interest in this car after the Warren Beatty movie came out in 1967. It had done the state fair circuits for years but had been mothballed! I saw it in person in 1971 as a small lad… Madison Wisconsin. We stood in line to get a closer look and the guy who is running the operation said to me “ come on up here a little feller and take a better look..! “ he picked me up and put me on the running board on the passenger side to look in the window. It smelled like an old car but there were two mannequins in the front seat dressed in the actual clothes that Bonnie and Clyde were shot to death in. The scene was very macabre and I will never ever forget standing on the side of that car! Two years later in 1973 my father was reading the newspaper after dinner and said “ hmmmm. That Bonnie and Clyde car that we saw just sold for $350,000…”
My grandfather was working in Arcadia when this happened. His construction crew went to see the bodies at the funeral home/furniture store that they were taken too, but he didn't go.

No It doesn’t. It’s making fun of Bonnie and Clyde. And the Vegas people in Nevada should not have shows like that that’s disgusting. If they were related to them they would even support that. Anybody who supports a museum like that or does a video like that. It’s disgusting shame on them
I remember seeing this as a kid! It was only roped off at the time not behind glass. I remember the smell of musty odd smell and how the seats still had dried blood etc. The driver door was open and I put my finger through one of the bullet holes! I have been fascinated by B&C ever since! I believe we took photos in front of it too I need find them sometime.
Yeah, that's just the way I remember it. It was roped off when I saw it about 50 years ago and it had a musty smell. I learned about it while passing through Las Vegas and made a point to stop and check it out at Whiskey Pete's.
The B&C Death Car is fascinating; however, the guns that were in that car when they were killed are also very interesting. I read that all of those guns were given to the law enforcement guys (who killed B&C). They occasionally turn up in auctions, etc. Back in 2012, the 38 Cal. Police Special that Bonnie Parker had taped to her thigh when she was killed sold at auction for $254,000. A lot of collectors were bidding on that gun.
I've read that Clyde was killed by the first of two head shots, with less than 10 bullets hitting him elsewhere. The gunfire continued until Bonnie stopped screaming. Those bullet holes meant she got pretty chewed up, the autopsy confirmed that.
I live about 2 hours from where Bonnie and Clyde was killed! We go to the museum and site a couple times a year. Thank you for sharing your travels of Bonnie And Clyde and many other adventures! Love your Channel and Jessica you are the best! 💜💜💜
Blanche lived out the rest of her life for the most part relative obscurity. She spent many years in Dallas working as a radio dispatcher for cabs and ambulance. She was a minor witness in the JFK assassination investigation because she as a dispatcher recorded the departure and arrival of the cab Lee Harvey Oswald hailed shortly after the assassination. She was known as Blanche Frasure and had also dispatched the O'neal Ambulance service to rush Oswald to Parkland after he was shot by Jack Ruby.
Pretty cool. I was there last year but the glass wasn't around the car and you could still touch it. I've seen this car in two different places now and it is a great piece of history. Glad you made it!
Clyde had such a reputation that after they filled that car with bullets when the rangers walked close to see they still had their guns drawn half expecting Clyde to come back shooting!
What? If you are quite clearly going to kill someone you wouldn't exactly holster your weapon until the kill has been confirmed. Perhaps think about stuff Clair. Quite obviously they were both profoundly dead. The police just made sure.
@@jagaloon216 bonnie was still alive and screaming - you can see the bullet holes in front windshield where she was finished with a burst of 30-06 rounds
@@phillfoote I saw a documentary that said they were caught off guard that no shots were fired from the car and Bonnie still had a half eaten sandwich still held in her hands.

Great video! Thank you for showing that piece of history. The holes on the passenger side were made by the bullets that passed through the driver side, then through Bonnie. She was also struck by bullets that went through Clyde's body. The Rangers didn't take any chances.
Ive seen this many times in Primm Nevada. Now the car is encased in glass. You used to be able to walk right up to it and look inside. Its really amazing to see it up close.
They had very good reason to be afraid of them. Bonnie and Clyde killed a lot of people, cops included. When you go after a pair of rabid dogs, you don't give them a chance to bite you!
I am impressed the bare metal from the bullets has not rusted after 90 years of display. It was on display outside early on after the shooting but didn't rust.
I am also impressed that the front window has repaired itself from the bullet holes seen in the original photos. the car here has no bullet holes in the front glass
@@vanstavrob I agree.. but maybe the glass eventually fell out and was replaced, after all it had been on display for many years and traveled all over the country. .. maybe visitors put their hands on it and eventually it fell out. I do know this.. if you compare the other bullet holes to the old original photos, they are an exact match. No doubt about it.. that is the death car.
Bonnie and Clyde killed 13 people, nine of whom were lawmen, so they weren't nice folks, I wish there was a monument to their victims who are long forgotten
That car got riddled and blasted with bullets. I really thought these two love birds were fictional characters. I love history. This blog completes the previous video I saw where you showed their schools, workplaces and their tombs. Thank you!
I was a truck driver back in '96 or '97. They had no protection around them back then. I was able to look and touch them. It was amazing to see them. I still remember them.
That car has had quite the life. And many owners. Glad it still exist. It's interesting to look at era pics and from the shootout scene. And match up bullet holes. The car in the adjacent display is also pretty amazing. The build quality. Take a look at the glass.....
When the car came to Whiskey Petes in the 90s, it wasn't behind any walls, and I put my fingers into the bullet holes.. I have been back many, many times, as late as 1 month ago, but it is inside Buffalo Bills hotel now.
When they were brought through Gibsland, the crowd rushed the car and they people started taking all kinds of shit...mirrors off the car...door handle.. locks of hair and jewelry off of Bonnie. Clyde's wrist watch. Being from Shreveport, which is just short drive from Gibsland...you see and hear things. Some of those items are still in people's possession...especially that wrist watch
Wow You're right. I just read the crowd was taking things like crazy. Some guy tried to cut Clyde's left ear off w a pocket knife, some lady cut hair off bonnie. Wow
A Bonnie and Clyde Death Car is an iconic roadside relic, which explains why at least seven of them are currently on display in various American attractions: the real car, the movie car, and five fake cars (A sixth fake was destroyed when the Wax Museum of the Southwest burned in Grand Prairie, Texas).
Omg! Yess Children's Palace here in Columbus, OH too. I loved just riding backseat in my parents 1970's car passing one of those. No seat belts either in those days 🤫
Iam usually freaked out too with object that people have met a grim fate to, but not this one I find it’s actually a pretty cool artifact of time & im glad that it still here to this day and not scrapped back in the day. Not scary at all.
Seen that car there about 14 years ago. It’s a pretty crazy when you actually see in person all the bullet holes. Keep up the great work love this channel
I saw a documentary once about Bonnie and Clyde that said as they brought the car through the town people were cutting off pieces of their clothes and their hair and dipping things in their blood to keep.
Hello my name is Jennifer I was born in Dallas and my hometown i grew up in is called Kemp Texas, where a small jail that Bonnie spent little time in is.. it's marked with a historical marker.. you can Google it.. 😊 very cool very small old town with lots of history.. Im just so in love with y'all and what you do.. I stumbled upon you not long ago and watch you everyday...
Back in the 80's a casino in Virginia City, NV had this car on display , the real car when we went in to see it no one was there, so I stepped over the rope and sat on Bonnie's side, It was creepy but awesome...
In France, the story of Bonnie and Clyde is known, but we have a man who was killed in the same way, his car was screened with bullets, Jacques Mesrine. These are two very impressive events 😱😱😱 5:35 Is there no blood on Clyde's shirt? I'm surprised
Just watched the actual footage of B&C's vehicle being inspected after their desth with Bonnie slumped over on Clyde and when they show the bullet holes on the vehicle they line up exactly like the ones on this car and it gave me a funky feeling
I've seen probably a half-dozen vlogs about Bonnie and Clyde, including ones with visits to Primm, and this is the best one. BTW, I live in Dallas, and the Belo in Belo Mansion is pronounced "BEE low." A. H. Belo, a Colonel in the Confederate States of America, founded The Dallas Morning News, which still publishes today.
Im shocked that these things aren’t in some kind of sealed chamber at the Smithsonian or some other museum. You would think the constant moving around of artifacts would leave them susceptible to degradation. So interesting! Thanks for this amazing tour 🤩👍🏻👏🏻
I live close to where Dillinger escaped the Lake County, IN. It amazes me the fame we give to murderers that didn't have a problem of killing LE officers. Like mass shooters of today, they should be forgotten to history.
@@kennethcurtis1856 I think it's the story behind them, as a person of their generation, the shooters of today are nothing but losers who idolize losers like themselves who think they've had a hard life and thought they could prove it and their beliefs by carrying out their actions, mainly Dylan, Eric and Elliot. Those guys were people on a grind (as the saying goes: money is the root of all evil) and if the people i mentioned earlier were around during the 20s, I'm sure they would've eventually gotten their shit kicked in by someone for their stupidity to put it
Clyde actually wrote a letter to Henry Ford thanking him for building such a fast and reliable car with the V-8 engine. The 1934 Ford V-8 had a whopping 85 hp, just to show you how far cars have come.
Really liked this with the car, and as you said it’s like you came full circle from your other videos covering Bonnie & Clyde.. also never realised the impact marks of the bullets on the passenger side as they would have travelled through the doors and panels then them inside and stuck in the opposite side.. crazy. Keep up the good work! you two are awesome.
so the bullets travelled first to the doors and the panels and then came back to hit bonny and clyde and get stuck in the opposite side pretty impresive if you ask me
I can imagine, that while alive, Bonnie and Clyde never thought the car they were driving would be famous, and still be around all these years later, just wild!
this is brilliant I love American history. I live in the UK we have a pretty good history. but you guys got the wild west and some amazing criminals in history. I love true crime you guys have the best serial killers mobsters etc. thanks for posting this video its brilliant. I love you're videos.
History is awesome. I enjoy the history of your kings and Queens, and how brutal life was in the middle ages. I mean you guys have building and ruins that are ancient. From when the Romans were lording over the land. That is fucking cool.
The crazy truth about this story is the cops waiting to ambush Bonnie and Clyde where mostly bored and falling asleep. What woke them up. The roar of the V8 engine in the Ford Bonnie and Clyde were driving in coming down the road.
What strikes me most is the relative accuracy of the bullet holes. Clyde's side of the vehicle has more holes in it and you can clearly see the shotgun blasts he took as well. It is chilling to think how badly they were both shot up.
Great footage, I never in my wildest dreams, thought the original car be on display at a casino. Very cool... you did a nice job explaining the story. You and your wife, I think you two are cool too. I worked at children's palace in 1977 to 1980 in cuyahoga falls, ohio. Thanks man. You are cool...
I visited Bonnie and Cylde's death spot recently and I must say that it still has that feel from May 23,1934 accept for the road being paved. Nothing around for miles.
For some reason the short life and ghastly death of Bonnie and Clyde fascinates people. Thank you for the sobering and matter of fact mini-documentary. It is both educationional and entertaining.
GREAT video y'all. I live in Dallas, Texas and is fascinated by this story but I haven't ever been able to actively go to the actual sites. Thank y'all so much for doing the leg work for us.
It's cool the authorities back then didn't have the car destroyed. It's also crazy the crowds that came to see the death site were mashing to get souvenirs, even off their dead bodies.
This car was on display in front of a Roses department in Roanoke Rapids, NC in the 70's. There was very little of the rear seat and nothing but the springs of the front seat left intact at the time, souvenir hunters had scavenged the car tremendously on the inside, but will never forget seeing the car and all the bullet holes where these two met their fate.
When the Death Car was brought to Dallas from Gibland, it travelled on Highway 80. The road went through several small towns and people lined up along the route to see the car go by. It stopped in a few places and people would crowd around it and people would dip handkerchiefs in the blood, inside the car. My dad was 4 yrs old and lived in the town of Terrell, Texas and was taken, with his older brother, by their parents and saw the car go by.
Did you know the car was stolen from a lady in Oklahoma? (I think …it might’ve been a different state) The Ranger that executed them, without a trial, thought he could keep it and make money off it. He refused to return it. The lady sued him for her stolen car back and won. Bonnie and Clyde were both very short. Blanche Barrow kept a diary, in prison. She wrote down everything they did, and what life was actually like on the road. How Bonnie almost burned to death and could barely walk, Clyde used to carry her. Also how Clyde walked with a limp and couldn’t really run because he cut his toes off in his first prison stint. You guys should check it out.
I first saw the "death car" at Whiskey Pete's almost 50 years ago, when the establishment wasn't much more than a small roadside diner with a few slot machines. The place has changed, but they managed to hold on to the car through the intervening years.
I'm sorry if this was noted before as I didn't skim through all 1400+ comments, but the drivers door bullet holes are different from the picture (9:51) and the actual car on display at the casino. Very curious. Picture showed a gapping hole while the display car only had bullet sized holes in that exact spot. Am I missing something here? Side note: LOVE ALL YOUR CONTENT BTW!!!
Came across your channel recently, and my man friend and I have been BINGING all of your videos ever since!! And, you guys were recently here in San Antonio! Thanks for the visit!
When I visited Whiskey Pete’s around 1993 the Bonnie and Clyde car was roped off instead of enclosed with plexiglass. The price for a room for two people was $22 and they were nice. I had no idea at the time their car was even there. Miss those truck driving days seeing the history and beauty of this country.
I have been there and saw the car. It is the real deal. I compared the photos of that car to photos of the ambush. Every bullet hole is dead on accurate. Matches up oerfect to the photod. The shirt full of bullet holes and blood stains that Clyd was killed in on display there is eeerie. It's really a great piece of history.
Obviously you didn’t match up the three holes above the back window. The spacing is wrong for the bullet hole farthest to the left. There is more space between those two holes in the original photo than they are on this car. It’s a good fake but a fake nevertheless. Someone went to a lot of trouble to make it look legit, but every single little detail is almost impossible to get perfect, especially when you have the original film footage of the death car to compare it to.
at one time it was moving down an assembly line, think of all the workers who added parts to it and had no idea they were creating the world's most famous car...
There were several “death cars” on display at one time. For instance, I saw one at a museum in Gatlinburg Tennessee in 1982. It was the wrong color and bullet holes did not match the ones in photos taken after the ambush.
I was stuck in Vegas traffic after Labor Day trying to get back to LA. Had to stay at a hotel because it was so awful. But somehow, I stumbled upon this hotel. I knew absolutely nothing about it & was genuinely surprised by the Bonnie & Clyde exhibit. I don't even think I gambled, I was so oddly captivated by it. Very underrated casino.
I think I was around 8 years old when I saw this car. Watching your video brought back the memory. There was only a rope keeping me out back from getting closer back then.
I grew up with a lot of stories from Old timers. My Grandfather was a farmer whose farm was next to Eastham Prison in the 1930's when they broke out Baby face Nelson. He told us he ducked in between the corn rolls because he said it sounded like a war erupted and bullets were flying all over the place.
Great video. I’ve been to see this display and it’s amazing. I can’t believe you aren’t familiar with Blanche Barrow. She’s a major player in their story.
I seen the death car back in 1993/4 @ the Ohio State Fair in Columbus, OH. They also had one of Clyde’s Tommy Gun’s on display as well. A great memory for sure! And you two get to enjoy as well! Great video, thanks for all the work you put in on the road! Drive safe!!!!
he hacksawed off the BAR barrel just in front of the gas ejection tube and abbreviated the stock, lightening it and shortening it.they weigh 19 lbs and are long to get out of a vehicle.the Thompson only shot pistol bullets
In 1952 in south Louisiana at a movie theater called the Palace there were gangster movies featured with wax figures in the lobby. That car was on the back of a flatbed truck in front of the Palace theater on Main Street New Iberia, Louisiana.
Just to know that over 100 Rounds was fired into that car which 50 bullets went into each of Bonnie & Clyde is crazy. They are an example of what Dominick & Letty of the fast & furious franchise represents but the two couples are different in some ways.
The car was originally stolen in Topeka, KS. The wife of the couple who owned the car was doing dishes when she noticed the same car driving up and down her street. When the car came back a for a third time she stated that she could see Bonnie driving as Clyde rode on the side of the car, his feet on the running board and his left hand clinging onto the door frame. The wife said as the car approached her driveway Clyde jumped off and ran up to the driver's door of her car. Clyde opened the door and quickly hotwired the V8 Ford (his favorite for outrunning the cops) . They sped off before anyone could stop them. After Bonnie and Clyde were shot, there was a long legal battle fought by the original owners of the car who eventually got it back many years later. They eventually sold it to an individual in Las Vegas I believe and it has been on display in different venues ever since.
My family property is about 4 miles south of the B and C ambush site south of Arcadia Louisiana. My dad and grandmother saw their bodies when the death car was towed into Arcadia in May 1934. Dad was 5 years old and didn't remember it. My grandmother rarely talked about it.
When I saw the Bonnie and Clyde car 40 yrs ago, you could still see blood stains in the seats.

That car got riddled and blasted with bullets. I really thought these two love birds were fictional characters. I love history. This blog completes the previous video I saw where you showed their schools, workplaces and their tombs. Thank you!
I was a truck driver back in '96 or '97. They had no protection around them back then. I was able to look and touch them. It was amazing to see them. I still remember them.
We have driven out from Las Vegas to see Bonnie and Clyde car. It was a great drive glad we got out of Vegas and went out there
That car has had quite the life. And many owners. Glad it still exist. It's interesting to look at era pics and from the shootout scene. And match up bullet holes. The car in the adjacent display is also pretty amazing. The build quality. Take a look at the glass.....
I've seen this exhibit when I was younger, I wondered if it was still there, glad to see it is!!
When the car came to Whiskey Petes in the 90s, it wasn't behind any walls, and I put my fingers into the bullet holes.. I have been back many, many times, as late as 1 month ago, but it is inside Buffalo Bills hotel now.
When they were brought through Gibsland, the crowd rushed the car and they people started taking all kinds of shit...mirrors off the car...door handle.. locks of hair and jewelry off of Bonnie. Clyde's wrist watch. Being from Shreveport, which is just short drive from Gibsland...you see and hear things. Some of those items are still in people's possession...especially that wrist watch
Wow
You're right. I just read the crowd was taking things like crazy. Some guy tried to cut Clyde's left ear off w a pocket knife, some lady cut hair off bonnie.
Wow
Damn people are crazy
@@aliciacruz5957lol well Bonnie and clyde deserves to be looted they are just like serial killers but people were savaged back then lol
A Bonnie and Clyde Death Car is an iconic roadside relic, which explains why at least seven of them are currently on display in various American attractions: the real car, the movie car, and five fake cars (A sixth fake was destroyed when the Wax Museum of the Southwest burned in Grand Prairie, Texas).
Omg! Yess Children's Palace here in Columbus, OH too. I loved just riding backseat in my parents 1970's car passing one of those. No seat belts either in those days 🤫
I’m not really into horror like you guys, but I’m definitely a history and true crime junkie. Really been hooked on your channel the past week or so!
Wow it’s so haunting, that car gave me the chills. Again you guys never disappoint!!
It's amazing they were like celebrities but their luck ran out. Interesting story.
Iam usually freaked out too with object that people have met a grim fate to, but not this one I find it’s actually a pretty cool artifact of time & im glad that it still here to this day and not scrapped back in the day. Not scary at all.
You covered this well ...thank you ! I was surprised at how creative he was
Thank you for sharing! I actually played Blanche in the musical Bonnie and Clyde and I'm dying to make the trip to Vegas to see the car myself.
Seen that car there about 14 years ago. It’s a pretty crazy when you actually see in person all the bullet holes. Keep up the great work love this channel
I saw a documentary once about Bonnie and Clyde that said as they brought the car through the town people were cutting off pieces of their clothes and their hair and dipping things in their blood to keep.
It was also said that someone tried to cut off Clyde’s ear to keep as a souvenir
@@4400zeke damming lol thats messed up
people were far more into souvenirs then than people are today Ive noticed reading about historical things.
😳
Hello my name is Jennifer I was born in Dallas and my hometown i grew up in is called Kemp Texas, where a small jail that Bonnie spent little time in is.. it's marked with a historical marker.. you can Google it.. 😊 very cool very small old town with lots of history.. Im just so in love with y'all and what you do.. I stumbled upon you not long ago and watch you everyday...
Back in the 80's a casino in Virginia City, NV had this car on display , the real car when we went in to see it no one was there, so I stepped over the rope and sat on Bonnie's side, It was creepy but awesome...
that is actually so cool tho, what did it look like on the inside if i can ask??
@@lamslams3334 it looked like the inside of a car
Santi Cheeks no way😳😳
@@santicheeks1106 😳😳😳
I call cap
In France, the story of Bonnie and Clyde is known, but we have a man who was killed in the same way, his car was screened with bullets, Jacques Mesrine. These are two very impressive events
😱😱😱
5:35 Is there no blood on Clyde's shirt? I'm surprised
Must have died instantly. No blood because no heartbeat pushing it out.
The shirt looks heavily bleached.
I enjoy all your videos. They're fun to watch and see something new everytime. Cant wait to see more. Take care Michael and Jessica
Thanks Pumpkin 🥰🥀🎃
Just watched the actual footage of B&C's vehicle being inspected after their desth with Bonnie slumped over on Clyde and when they show the bullet holes on the vehicle they line up exactly like the ones on this car and it gave me a funky feeling
@@BM-pf6gl Yea thats the real deal.
I've seen probably a half-dozen vlogs about Bonnie and Clyde, including ones with visits to Primm, and this is the best one. BTW, I live in Dallas, and the Belo in Belo Mansion is pronounced "BEE low." A. H. Belo, a Colonel in the Confederate States of America, founded The Dallas Morning News, which still publishes today.
Im shocked that these things aren’t in some kind of sealed chamber at the Smithsonian or some other museum. You would think the constant moving around of artifacts would leave them susceptible to degradation. So interesting! Thanks for this amazing tour 🤩👍🏻👏🏻
I live close to where Dillinger escaped the Lake County, IN. It amazes me the fame we give to murderers that didn't have a problem of killing LE officers.
Like mass shooters of today, they should be forgotten to history.
@@kennethcurtis1856 I think it's the story behind them, as a person of their generation, the shooters of today are nothing but losers who idolize losers like themselves who think they've had a hard life and thought they could prove it and their beliefs by carrying out their actions, mainly Dylan, Eric and Elliot. Those guys were people on a grind (as the saying goes: money is the root of all evil) and if the people i mentioned earlier were around during the 20s, I'm sure they would've eventually gotten their shit kicked in by someone for their stupidity to put it

@@yeeheestoner223 🤡🤡🤡🤡
@@kennethcurtis1856 Thats why its called history. If everyone thought like you we wouldnt have any.
Any car that my wife is driving can be described as a "death car" -- don't get in the car.
No surprise why in Middle East women weren't allowed to drive cars until recent years ago...

Not even funny

Clyde actually wrote a letter to Henry Ford thanking him for building such a fast and reliable car with the V-8 engine. The 1934 Ford V-8 had a whopping 85 hp, just to show you how far cars have come.
How moch is that im miles per hour max?
Really liked this with the car, and as you said it’s like you came full circle from your other videos covering Bonnie & Clyde.. also never realised the impact marks of the bullets on the passenger side as they would have travelled through the doors and panels then them inside and stuck in the opposite side.. crazy. Keep up the good work! you two are awesome.
The 30-06 BAR is nothing to sneeze at!
so the bullets travelled first to the doors and the panels and then came back to hit bonny and clyde and get stuck in the opposite side pretty impresive if you ask me
Awesome video! Best wishes from Birmingham England!
You gotta be Fuggin kidding me! I was literally just there 3 weeks ago! Pretty cool right there. Love your channel btw
I can imagine, that while alive, Bonnie and Clyde never thought the car they were driving would be famous, and still be around all these years later, just wild!
this is brilliant I love American history. I live in the UK we have a pretty good history. but you guys got the wild west and some amazing criminals in history. I love true crime you guys have the best serial killers mobsters etc. thanks for posting this video its brilliant. I love you're videos.
History is awesome.
I enjoy the history of your kings and Queens, and how brutal life was in the middle ages.
I mean you guys have building and ruins that are ancient. From when the Romans were lording over the land.
That is fucking cool.
@@irenec7665 Absolutely 💯
Your history is epic. I've always been fascinated with English history. Wishing you all the best 💞
how could a serial killer and a mob star be the best??😂😂😂😂
That is because all the rebels came here from Europe and had babies together!! Lol
The crazy truth about this story is the cops waiting to ambush Bonnie and Clyde where mostly bored and falling asleep. What woke them up. The roar of the V8 engine in the Ford Bonnie and Clyde were driving in coming down the road.
As an Australian, this is fascinating to see !
Watch the movie "The Highwayman" 2019 is you want to see more
This is easily one of the best channels around. Intelligent and informative.
Just finished watching The Highway Men and it was pretty interesting to see the perspective of how the ambush etc came to be...
What strikes me most is the relative accuracy of the bullet holes. Clyde's side of the vehicle has more holes in it and you can clearly see the shotgun blasts he took as well. It is chilling to think how badly they were both shot up.
Great footage, I never in my wildest dreams, thought the original car be on display at a casino. Very cool... you did a nice job explaining the story. You and your wife, I think you two are cool too. I worked at children's palace in 1977 to 1980 in cuyahoga falls, ohio. Thanks man. You are cool...
I visited Bonnie and Cylde's death spot recently and I must say that it still has that feel from May 23,1934 accept for the road being paved. Nothing around for miles.
For some reason the short life and ghastly death of Bonnie and Clyde fascinates people. Thank you for the sobering and matter of fact mini-documentary. It is both educationional and entertaining.
GREAT video y'all. I live in Dallas, Texas and is fascinated by this story but I haven't ever been able to actively go to the actual sites. Thank y'all so much for doing the leg work for us.
Dude...thats the best intro ive ever seen on UA-cam. The listening, the look,and the length. Perfect!
It's cool the authorities back then didn't have the car destroyed. It's also crazy the crowds that came to see the death site were mashing to get souvenirs, even off their dead bodies.
This car was on display in front of a Roses department in Roanoke Rapids, NC in the 70's. There was very little of the rear seat and nothing but the springs of the front seat left intact at the time, souvenir hunters had scavenged the car tremendously on the inside, but will never forget seeing the car and all the bullet holes where these two met their fate.
This is CRAZY!!! I love this!!!!
Thank you for that lovely tour !!!!
Hell yes!!
Hell yeah its interesting
When the Death Car was brought to Dallas from Gibland, it travelled on Highway 80. The road went through several small towns and people lined up along the route to see the car go by. It stopped in a few places and people would crowd around it and people would dip handkerchiefs in the blood, inside the car.
My dad was 4 yrs old and lived in the town of Terrell, Texas and was taken, with his older brother, by their parents and saw the car go by.
Did you know the car was stolen from a lady in Oklahoma? (I think …it might’ve been a different state)
The Ranger that executed them, without a trial, thought he could keep it and make money off it.
He refused to return it.
The lady sued him for her stolen car back and won.
Bonnie and Clyde were both very short.
Blanche Barrow kept a diary, in prison. She wrote down everything they did, and what life was actually like on the road. How Bonnie almost burned to death and could barely walk, Clyde used to carry her. Also how Clyde walked with a limp and couldn’t really run because he cut his toes off in his first prison stint.
You guys should check it out.
What in the hell??? Wow that’s insane!!!!
Imagene getting your car back but its filled with bullet holes. Wow
"The Ranger that executed them without a trial"? 🤔
I first saw the "death car" at Whiskey Pete's almost 50 years ago, when the establishment wasn't much more than a small roadside diner with a few slot machines. The place has changed, but they managed to hold on to the car through the intervening years.
The Grimms in Primm......LOVING THIS.....wish I was there♡♡♡
I'm sorry if this was noted before as I didn't skim through all 1400+ comments, but the drivers door bullet holes are different from the picture (9:51) and the actual car on display at the casino. Very curious. Picture showed a gapping hole while the display car only had bullet sized holes in that exact spot. Am I missing something here? Side note: LOVE ALL YOUR CONTENT BTW!!!
Maybe it's the shadowing in the photo vs the good lighting in the casino.
Came across your channel recently, and my man friend and I have been BINGING all of your videos ever since!! And, you guys were recently here in San Antonio! Thanks for the visit!
I’m glad you found us Erin...be safe and sane out there 🎃
When I visited Whiskey Pete’s around 1993 the Bonnie and Clyde car was roped off instead of enclosed with plexiglass. The price for a room for two people was $22 and they were nice. I had no idea at the time their car was even there. Miss those truck driving days seeing the history and beauty of this country.
I have been there and saw the car. It is the real deal. I compared the photos of that car to photos of the ambush. Every bullet hole is dead on accurate. Matches up oerfect to the photod.
The shirt full of bullet holes and blood stains that Clyd was killed in on display there is eeerie.
It's really a great piece of history.
Obviously you didn’t match up the three holes above the back window. The spacing is wrong for the bullet hole farthest to the left. There is more space between those two holes in the original photo than they are on this car. It’s a good fake but a fake nevertheless. Someone went to a lot of trouble to make it look legit, but every single little detail is almost impossible to get perfect, especially when you have the original film footage of the death car to compare it to.
I'm glad you did that because they said there's a few replicas around --- the way you did that is the only way to make sure it's the real McCoy
Lol hmmmm makes you wonder if that is the real McCoy
Great video!
I've always been fascinated by the story of Bonnie and Clyde.
I saw the car in a criminal justice museum in 2009 in DC. That car really moves around
at one time it was moving down an assembly line, think of all the workers who added parts to it and had no idea they were creating the world's most famous car...
There were several “death cars” on display at one time. For instance, I saw one at a museum in Gatlinburg Tennessee in 1982. It was the wrong color and bullet holes did not match the ones in photos taken after the ambush.
Imagine the ghosts of Bonnie and Clyde watching right back at you from that car.............
Again guys you go above and beyond, loving it, thanks guys x.
Thank you Paul
I was stuck in Vegas traffic after Labor Day trying to get back to LA. Had to stay at a hotel because it was so awful. But somehow, I stumbled upon this hotel. I knew absolutely nothing about it & was genuinely surprised by the Bonnie & Clyde exhibit. I don't even think I gambled, I was so oddly captivated by it. Very underrated casino.
That "Sign of the Times" song playing in the background was surreal
I think I was around 8 years old when I saw this car. Watching your video brought back the memory. There was only a rope keeping me out back from getting closer back then.
I've seen it many times yet it is so surreal
There was a Children's Palace in Barboursville, WV back in the 80's. I believe it's a Michael's now. I loved that store.
I saw Clyde and Bonnie’s car in a shopping center in Hopewell Virginia in 1970’s.
When I was about 10, long time ago this car was at the Will Roger's museum , I went past the barrier and stuck my finger in a bullet hole.
Despite awful things they ve been doing, Their love for each other is pure i give em that.
I grew up with a lot of stories from Old timers. My Grandfather was a farmer whose farm was next to Eastham Prison in the 1930's when they broke out Baby face Nelson. He told us he ducked in between the corn rolls because he said it sounded like a war erupted and bullets were flying all over the place.
Great video. I’ve been to see this display and it’s amazing. I can’t believe you aren’t familiar with Blanche Barrow. She’s a major player in their story.
My goodness I want to go see up close. Thank you both so much for sharing.
I seen the death car back in 1993/4 @ the Ohio State Fair in Columbus, OH. They also had one of Clyde’s Tommy Gun’s on display as well. A great memory for sure! And you two get to enjoy as well! Great video, thanks for all the work you put in on the road! Drive safe!!!!
You sure it was a tommy gun clyde used browning automatic riffles alot
The 1918 BAR was his favorite, but doesn't mean he didn't use other weapons.
i was born in Columbus in 93. i wonder if infant me ended up seeing it lol
he hacksawed off the BAR barrel just in front of the gas ejection tube and abbreviated the stock, lightening it and shortening it.they weigh 19 lbs and are long to get out of a vehicle.the Thompson only shot pistol bullets
In 1952 in south Louisiana at a movie theater called the Palace there were gangster movies featured with wax figures in the lobby. That car was on the back of a flatbed truck in front of the Palace theater on Main Street New Iberia, Louisiana.
Damn I thought I was the only one who remembered Children's Palace!
Thanks!
I just found your channel today. You guys are amazing and seem like some of the nicest people ever.
Me the same. Just found them a couple of weeks ago, and I have already watched so many of their videos.
Just to know that over 100 Rounds was fired into that car which 50 bullets went into each of Bonnie & Clyde is crazy. They are an example of what Dominick & Letty of the fast & furious franchise represents but the two couples are different in some ways.
Great content as always team Grimm! Much love from Brisbane, Australia!
Wow I’m really surprised they let u film in there!!!👍🏻
Great video! My great great great uncle was killed by Bonnie & Clyde Christmas Day. My grandma still has the newspaper article.
The car was originally stolen in Topeka, KS. The wife of the couple who owned the car was doing dishes when she noticed the same car driving up and down her street. When the car came back a for a third time she stated that she could see Bonnie driving as Clyde rode on the side of the car, his feet on the running board and his left hand clinging onto the door frame. The wife said as the car approached her driveway Clyde jumped off and ran up to the driver's door of her car. Clyde opened the door and quickly hotwired the V8 Ford (his favorite for outrunning the cops) . They sped off before anyone could stop them. After Bonnie and Clyde were shot, there was a long legal battle fought by the original owners of the car who eventually got it back many years later. They eventually sold it to an individual in Las Vegas I believe and it has been on display in different venues ever since.
That car was peppered with bullets , can ya imagine what their bodies looked like !!!
My family property is about 4 miles south of the B and C ambush site south of Arcadia Louisiana. My dad and grandmother saw their bodies when the death car was towed into Arcadia in May 1934. Dad was 5 years old and didn't remember it. My grandmother rarely talked about it.
