The allure of their image outlived them. A crowd of 10,000 overran the funeral home where Clyde's body was laid out; twice as many, in the estimate of Bonnie's mother, filed past her casket. Afterward, an entrepreneur bought the bullet-riddled Ford and toured it for years, into the early '40s. People lined up to see it.

I wonder what became of that old Ford. Story is Clyde liked that car so much that he sent a letter to Henry Ford telling him what a fine car it was.
