If we started a story with a car robbery, and then continue the criminal chronicle. Probably the most famous and certainly the most romanticized criminals of the 20th century considered Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker. For several years this sweet couple terrorized States, robbing banks, car theft and killing for fun. All that ended May 23, 1934, when Bonnie and Clyde were arranged in a police ambush. Servants of the order did not stand on ceremony, turning stolen Ford V-8 Fordor notorious spouses in a natural sieve. By the way, the same car is now put on public display at the Museum of Bonnie and Clyde, which is Gibslende, Texas.
