He maintained even to his family that he would much rather run than fight, and if he had to run, he considered himself a better driver than anybody he would come up against. The fact is that if you gave Clyde Barrow a Ford V8 and five minutes head start, he was gone. He was never run down by police pursuit in the 25 months that he was on the run. Never." Main picture of death site at Gibsland, Louisiana after police ambush. "Car wound up with 167 holes in it, counting entrance and exit holes. Bonnie wound up with 53 in her and Clyde wound up with 51 in him." Car is currently serving as an attraction at this casino: New vs. old pic which do match up: "The car in which Bonnie and Clyde were killed was a 1934 Ford V8. The car was stolen from the driveway of Jesse and Ruth Warren in Topeka, Kansas. After the shoot out, the Ford V8 was returned to the Warrens. Later the car was sold for $3,000 and exhibited at state fairs and carnivals. Eventually the death car was obtained for $250,000 by the Primm Valley Resort and Casino."
