“Pretty Boy” Floyd’s Car Unearthed And Restored

"Dad, don’t that look like an old car down there?" asked Joe Ford’s son.

Sure enough it was. The car was buried up to the roof line in mud, and it took two days to dig it out. After years of research Ford’s sure the car once belonged to bank robber “Pretty Boy” Floyd.

Well lets see here Bonnie and clyde's car in real life was a ford fordur,But when they made the movie they couldn't find enough Fords so they used 29 & 30 Plymouths..There's one in Cresent beach,Florida some old guy (yeah listen to me,old guy) that has it, has paper work from the movie studio, and the actors signed the car.
