A little tip to arm up for a serious road trip.

From that info-paper from the Bonnie & Clyde museum. I saw the actual car at the AR State Fair once, it cost me $1 when that was a good amount. They had the gore pictures too. It was a carnival sham but looked to be the real car. Best I could tell in my 13 yr. old mind. It might have been one they set out in a field and just shot up.

Poor pics, I tried to help them.

There was a car on the travel circuit that was supposed to be the Bonnie and Clyde car. I saw it in Tuscaloosa, Al around 1956!Cost me 25 cents to see it. Looked pretty authentic, bullet holes, blood stains and all

This was mid 1970's so about right

It could very well have been the same circuit car! LOL That would be really rich. I was thinking it was a Packard but later learned Clyde was a Ford man. Maybe just my imagination. That $1 memory has indeed lasted a long time.

I also saw these guys riding motorcycles and go-carts in a barrel and this metal mesh ball. That was FANTASTIC. The motorcycles were all single cylinder Indian "Scout" bikes. An odd choice. The mesh ball bikes were all XR75 Honda's. An admirable decision. Much, much later Mark Hall was introduced to me at HHC in TN. A very nice man of unique smarts. He actually knew the "Wall of Death" circuit riders and did the mechanical re-builds on their old antique bikes they use! A great circle of events. He's really sharp on bullet casting and alloys too.

A lesson to be taken from Bonnie and Clyde

Is that carrying your guns and ammo with you to go somewhere safer when things get dangerous is a bad idea. They had all kinds of guns with them yet they did them no good at all. Better to stay home with your family and let the other side come to you.

BUT if you do go out, go armed.
