Worth noting Buck Barrow was played by the late Gene Hackman in the 1967 movie Bonnie and Clyde.

Looks like a Smith & Wesson 3rd Model .38 revolver next to the bottle of hooch.

Guns and booze. Always been a dangerous combination.

Well I hope that nice old Model A wasn't. It got shot full of holes.

It's a 1930-31 Tudor Sedan. Too bad they are blocking a clear view of the side splash apron, which could tell which year it is.

In criminal flight, they aren't going to outrun many police cars in THAT Ford! Of course, back then small hick town sheriffs still drove Model T's, so maybe they had a chance of escape after all?

Many of the police usually drove big older Buick's, Nash's and many contemporary Chevy's too.
