We lived on a country road about 12 miles from the ambush site. A day or two before, we had seen that 34 Ford whiz past our house, and a neighbor came over and told us Bonnie and Clyde were in the car. An uncle of the gang member who supposedly helped set up the ambush lived a couple of miles on up the road.
The bodies were taken to the furniture store/funeral home in Arcadia and put on display. Being only 5 years old, I didn't get to go, but I know one or two people who were my age who were taken by their dads to see them.
The tiny town of Gibsland, LA has set itself up as the Bonnie & Clyde world center. They have a B&C festival about this time each year, with reenactments, and there are not just one, but two B&C museums. I think one has a version of the death car. There have been several of these over the years, but usually a close comparison with the photos from the original scene will show some variations in bullet hole locations, shattered glass, etc.
First, Mom heard it,,,she was not peeping!
And the story of 19th is fascinating. Mom drove over from where she was living to see the brouhaha!
