Bonnie & Clyde Getaway Car Review
Whether you're driving from California to Las Vegas or driving from Vegas to Primm, you might want to take a quick stop and check out one of the most notorious and intriguing pieces in history.
The bullet-riddled car driven by the infamous crime duo, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, is on display at Whiskey Pete's Resort and Casino. In addition to the famed V8 Ford, you can view other fascinating memorabilia.
Following a two-year crime spree, the couple led police on a deadly pursuit in the vehicle. Around the time of the Great Depression, Bonnie and Clyde robbed dozens of banks and killed at least nine people on their adventures across rural America. On May 23, 1934, law officers killed the partners in crime in a roadblock ambush, piercing the car with more than 100 bullets.
The display not only includes the battered car, but also contains Clyde's shredded shirt that he wore the morning of his death as well as letters of authenticity and small items from the duo’s travels. A streaming video tells the criminals' tale including testimonies from witnesses who saw the capture of the notable two.
The historic Death Car is on display at Whiskey Pete’s and open to the public for viewing for free.
