Nah.......You need a big Buick or Packard. They were the prefered get-away autos as they were more powerful than the Fords that the law had.

Will that case close? Or just leave it open for displays?

Clyde Barrow and John Dillinger preferred Fords.

Ermi,
Yes the case will close all the way, after a lot of adj.
Im a poor gangster, the 31 ford is all i can afford. but i think with a thompson you could put some distance between you and anyone trying to follow to close .
Harlen, Great pic's of Clyde's letter to ford and the pic's of Clyde Barrow's ford.
Here's one more i found of the car.

That was after the V8 was introduced by Ford. During prohabition in the 20's the Fords were no match for a bigger more powerful Buick, Packard, etc.

I was just ribbing Iboos. His car being a 31 would be a 4 cyl., but he took it as intended and fessed up to being a "poor gangster". I'll bet he has a very nice car.

Happy Holidays,

I knew you were ribbing him Emri.

You should see the Vietnam Era Jeep that he restored!

Of the '31 Ford AND the Jeep!!!

It's a little slow this time of year on the forums.............

Car pics are OK by me !!!

I have a 1939 Ford Tudor (85 HP V8) that I was going to have restored and on the road in 1 year. That was in 1974; when I was young and energetic and had great plans for the future. I still have it. School, ( when I was going to do it in 1 yr.) , Marriage, Kids, Work, and other stuff keep getting in the way. Too many irons in the fire..... It's not done yet.....

Anyhow, "when" I do get to working on it, I plan on making one of those neat flip down boards under the dash to hold a couple of handguns just like Bogart had in his coupe in "The Big Sleep".

Y'all have a Merry Christmas,

Emri
