Parker may be last to
recall Bonnie and Clyde
car’s 1930s visit to Forsyth
In early 1934, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow
stole a V8 Ford and drove it around the Midwest,
robbing and killing people. That joyride ended
when lawmen punctured the car (and Bonnie
and Clyde) with over 100 armor-piercing bullets.
The FBI turned the "Bonnie and Clyde Death
Car" into a touring attraction, and the car came
to the Bittick Ford dealership next to the current
location of Monroe County Bank within a year or
two. Flarold Parker, 88, of Forsyth, told the Re
porter last week he's probably the only person
left in Monroe County who can remember seeing
the Bonnie and Clyde car. Fie was about 11
years old at the time, and he remembers that he
paid 10 cents to see the car riddled with bullets
and bloodstains.

I think the Reporter page
on Facebook needs to be
monitored more closely.
It is one thing to have a
good debate but the
nonsense a lot of those
folks post is ridiculous!
