Remember Bonnie and Clyde?

[CWright]

A friend of mine sent me this. I thought it was pretty cool. Below is from his email and the attached letter.

Been meaning to send this out Letter Clyde Barrow to Henry Ford about the quality of his cars. Some might not remember old Clyde but at the time of this letter every Law enforcement agency in the country was after him but he paused long enough to reflect on those fine Fords. This letter was past down from the UAW in the Ford Department

Hope you enjoy!

Never seen this before, thanks for sharing some history. Clyde wrote the letter a little over a month before his death.

I have a distant cousin who was a member of their gang. My great uncle, until the time I was about 15, lived in a log cabin in deep east Texas that was built in 1865. I stayed at that house many times when I was younger. Bonnie and Clyde came and visited and stayed in that same house with their gang member, Ralph Fults.

Found this video on the car and letter. Also found out exactly where the term "SUICIDE DOOR" comes from. Very informative video.
