Default Car That Hauled The Dead From their Graves

Has anyone heard about the story of Ed Gein´s Ghoul car?
It was a 1949 Ford that was sold at Auction after he was caught. Bunny Gibbons from Rockford, Illinois bought it and used it as an attraction in Wisconsin state fairs.
Does anyone know what happed to it?

When I was a kid, we had "Ed Gein Jokes"; "Footstools with real feet" and "Armchairs....."; well it's pretty obvious. I don't even want to think about the heads on the engine.

SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS THREAD SHOULD BE DELETED as it is offensive to the memories of the victims. I agree with "Kube".

I agree this should not be posted here, evil individuals like that should not be the source of interest.
