At least 10 museums in the US claim to have the original car of Bonnie and Clyde, but this is not true: where is the legendary car actually
The Ford Model 730 Deluxe, in which Bonnie and Clyde were driving to the next crime scene, was shot. Where is the legendary car now? Autoinfo.
The story of Bonnie and Clyde, the famous American robbers, is not known, perhaps, only by the laziest.
In the period from 1931 to 1934, this couple robbed about twelve banks and many trade and service enterprises, including small private shops, hairdressers and gas stations.
In addition, Bonnie and Clyde became famous for their cruelty. At the slightest attempt to resist them, they, without hesitation, opened fire to kill. Thus, nine police officers and four civilians were killed at their hands.

It was thanks to their cruelty that Bonnie and Clyde remained elusive for a long time, but all good things come to an end sooner or later. On May 23, 1934, the Texas Rangers tracked their route and ambushed them on a rural road in Bienville, in the US state of Louisiana. A total of 167 bullets hit the car, of which about 60 hit Bonnie and about 50 hit Clyde. It goes without saying that the robbers died after this, but do you know where the Ford Model 730 Deluxe is now?
There are many automobile museums in the United States of America, and at least ten of them have a shot Ford Model 730 Deluxe, masquerading as Bonnie and Clyde's car, but none of them are real.
The real Bonnie and Clyde car is now located in the Buffalo Bill casino, which is in the small town of Primm, located in the US state of Nevada, just 55 kilometers from the city of Las Vegas.
Casino owners bought this car in 1988 for about $250, after which they put it on public display in one of the gambling halls. The car is surrounded by glass panels, and armed dummies of Bonnie and Clyde stand next to it.
In addition to the car, this casino also stores the clothes of the robbers in which they were during the execution, as well as many original photographs from the personal archive of Bonnie and Clyde, newspaper clippings of that time and other artifacts.
