With the shield behind the V-8 emblem, wouldn't it be a '34? On the other hand, the chrome border appears narrower, like a '33's. |

The more I look at this, the more sure I am that it's a '34. Will change, pending any dissent. |

The scene was the reenactment of John Dillinger's escape from the Lake County Jail at Crown Point, Indiana on the morning of the 3rd March 1934. In real life, Dillinger and another prisoner, convicted murderer Herbert Youngblood had escaped from the cells by using a wooden gun on the guards and then took Lake County Deputy Sheriff Ernest Blunk hostage before gaining access to the prison's armory where they took a Colt Police Positive Revolver, Browning Automatic Rifle, and a Thompson Submachine Gun. Using their weapons taken from the armoury, Dillinger, Youngblood and their hostage then made their way to the Ford garage next door to the prison where they took the garage attendant and mechanic, Edwin Saager hostage and then fleeing from the scene in Sheriff Lillian Holley's brand-new Ford V8 Sedan. After the escape, Dillinger and Youngblood drove Sheriff Holley's car across the Indiana-Illinois state line where they let the attendant go and continue their journey to Chicago where they dumped the car in a side street, with the engine left running and went their separate ways. While the car used in the real escape was a Ford V8, it was a 1933 model with the red emergency light at the bottom of the grill on the driver's side, and the search light next the driver's side door. And while the vehicle did bore the registration, 674 549, the vehicle's number plates were the 1934 white-on-black Indiana number plates. Two weeks later, on the 16th March 1934, Youngblood was hiding in Port Huron, Michigan, near the Canadian Border when he went into a local convenience store armed with a .38 revolver and a ten-shot Savage .32 pistol and drunkenly told the owner, Pearl Abraham that he was "a bad man" and took a packet of cigarettes without paying, leading to the owner's son, Eugene Fields to call the Sheriff's Department. When they arrived, the Sheriff, William van Antwerp, his Undersheriff, Charles Cavanaugh and deputy, Howard Lohr had confronted Youngblood and took the .38 off Youngblood and was unaware of Youngblood's second 32. pistol. Youngblood then took out the .32 and started shooting, Cavanaugh was shot and killed, but managed to return fire as he was falling to the floor. Youngblood then shot both Sheriff van Antwerp in the upper body and Deputy Lohr in the chest and Fields in the shoulder. Despite being shot multiple times by Sheriff van Antwerp and Deputy Lohr, Youngblood was still up and shooting when Fields grabbed Cavanaugh's revolver and shot Youngblood twice, mortality wounding him and causing him to fall onto the floor. Sheriff van Antwerp, Deputy Lohr and Fields survived the shooting. Near death, Youngblood told the police that Dillinger was hiding in Port Huron and had planned to cross the Canadian Border, but no trace of Dillinger was found, Youngblood later died of his wounds, four hours after the shootout. Having drove a stolen car across the state line, Dillinger committed a federal offence, allowing the BOI to come after him and his gang. -- Last edit: 2024-02-21 15:14:42 |
