Bonnie and Clyde were killed near Gibsland, LA. My dad is 87 years old. If they were killed 73 years ago, then my father was 14 at the time Bonnie and Clyde died.
Anyway, my father was born and grew up in this area of Louisiana and he arrived at the scene within hours of the ambush. The dead bodies of Bonnie and Clyde were gone by the time he arrived, but my father saw their riddled car as they were removing it from the field. I rememeber him showing me the field as a young boy.
About the time I was 14 years old, I remember paying dime or quarter to see the authentic Bonnie and Clyde car on exhibit at the Louisiana State Fair. It had 100's of bullet holes in it. I also remember seeing the black and white movie on TV when I was a kid. I thought it was cool that my dad actually saw the car THAT day....
