The ORIGINAL 1930 Ford Model A John Dillinger used in a police chase has been placed on the Barret-Jackson auction block. Dillinger commandered the vehicle from Robert Johnson after he escaped the Melvin Pervus and the FBI in the Little Bohemia Lodge gun fight. While fleeing to Minnesota, Dillinger shot at pursuing law enforcement officers and dodge bullets from the rear window of this very vehicle.
After decades in storage, this vehicle was carefully restored by the makers of Public Enemies for the film, and was very much utilized. The restoration involved the filling of bullet holes, repainting, and putting new glass in the vehicle. The vehicle is new restored, and preserved forever on DVD and BLU-RAY. Who want's to buy it for me????
