Henry ford drives off in a ford model a

I read the story and believe it . I have posted about the story here before . The best that I remember , the model A was a 1930 tudor . The 1930 tudor wasn't the fastest model A . The car was clocked at 72 MPH with the wind and 68 MPH against the wind. No modifications were mentioned but it ran pretty good anyway !!!

yeh, there are some limits in being truthful.
I got pinched by a customs officer for not declaring a movie camera when they were rare and expensive.
I told the customs man that I had no conscience in lying to the government. After all they lied to me each day. It took a few moments for it to register and I knew it had when he smiled.
I always tell the truth. The exception being in the third sentence of the above. cheers, gary

My '53 Studebaker had vents like that. They were in the rear, of the front fenders.

Neat story I enjoyed this. This is an interesting topic.

There are a lot of cool stories surrounding Henry Ford and the T-A-V/8 era. Another one of interest was the 1930 Coupe that some of the Dillinger gang made their escape in, from Little Bohemia. Red Hamilton was shot in the back through the rear of the Coupe and later died. They abandoned the car in Mendota, Illinois. The blood stains on the seat and the bullet holes were still all there until somebody restored the car a few years ago.

I thought that personally, the car would have had more interest if those battle damages had been left alone. After it was restored it became just another nice Model A Coupe.

I also would like to know what happened to this Model A that Henry absconded that day! That would be interesting to know and to see the car!
 
Some guy had a 34 V8 that he claimed was THE Bonny and Clyde death car.

It had many bullet holes some were 30 caliber and some were 5.56 MM holes.

I do not think that in 1934 the FBI was using very many AR-15 .223 weapons!

The most glaring error was that the drivers side door handle was worn clear though the Nickel plating and the brass underneath was showing through!

On a car less than a year old??

Somehow I do not think so!:cool: :cool: :D

That's funny Benson and yes there must be a number of 'official' B&C Death Cars out there.

As far as the .223/5.56 mm NATO rounds, it doesn't surprise me! I've even noticed the History Channel making a number of mistakes in their shows especially on WWII stories. Gotten to the point I don't them watch that much anymore, if they find it necessary to broadcast lies like they are doing. American Heroes Channel is more accurate I've found.
