Vintage Police Photographs with the Thompson

[Bob]

Pretty sure a Tudor by the windows on the passenger side rear showing thru and the larger window behind the cop. No quarter window I don't think.

 

Yes, final answer : 1931 Ford Tudor ( hope I don't hear the buzzer )

Looks like a 31 with the 32 up vibrator horn :-)

Bob- I agree with that, typical Ford, they were still selling Model As in 32. Nothing wasted.

 

The 1934 Bonnie & Clyde death car had a few 1933 stuff in it ( door panels etc ) , left over. I got into an argument with LaBaron Bonney over that, guess who won with original photos.

Obviously posed photo, and I have seen the photo taken in the same shot, of Lt Bayers by himself pointing the Model of 1921 without a magazine, but never seen this one before.

 

 

Thompson looks better with the C Drum in place.

 

Here is a link to the story of the 1925 shoot out.

and 2nd photo caption said, extra security put in place while Dillinger is in custody at Crown Point in 1934?

One more -

If you look closely - lower rack on the right is filled with M1897 Winchester Shot Guns. The rack on the lower left is filled with Colt-Browning M-1895 Machine Guns next to the TSMG's.

Both upper racks have M1903's.
