Johnny saw this and wanted to share it--The most infamous cars in history

No, not like the Edsel, no we mean cars used by stars who met crazy ends in them or were used in crimes. Did you know Law and Order's Mariska Hargitay was in the back seat of her mother's (Jayne Mansfield) car when she was killed? Yeah, make SURE you check out the YouTube clip of the Mansfield accident.

A preview of the fine work by The Car Connection below, but you can get the full story HERE

Bonnie and Clyde's Ford V-8
"TheCarConnection.com’s most infamous cars start right here with the Model A that sped into history, piloted by Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker. From the time they met in January 1930, Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker were on a date with a bloody destiny. Their cross-country blast in a Ford V-8 took them across five states from Missouri to Texas, robbing banks and gas stations and stores and killing 13 people. Barrow was famous for his love of Fords, and in the day, the V-8 Ford was the fastest car on the road. Barrow may or may not have written a letter to Ford Motor Company, saying that it "has got every other car skinned," in fact. In May of 1934, Texas and Louisiana police ambushed the duo and their gang in Bienville Parish, Louisiana, pumping 100 bullets into the car. The death car lives on display at the Primm Valley Resort in Primm, Nevada."
