Leaving Las Vegas for CA last month, I stopped at Whiskey Pete's Hotel and Casino in Primm, NEV, near the state line. Along with some mobster history they had the Bonnie and Clyde Death Car, a 1934 V8 Ford, on display complete with a few dozen bullet holes. Ouch!

Several fake cars were found over the years but history of the car indicates this is the original with a few possible modifications for display. The driver side photos match the original pictures.

Since they were hit from both sides, the passenger side looks fake since it is said that over 100 shots were fired. The rear door has no holes and the front has a scattering of small holes. It's possible that the doors were in worse shape and were removed and replaced later as was the windshield.
