Ford Model 40 B Fordor Deluxe
Over the years, the fable of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow and their infamously stolen Ford V8 automobile has lived until today for some reason.
The thieving couple gained notoriety after the duo was shot to death inside a 1934 Ford Model 40 B Fordor Deluxe vehicle.
Bonnie and Clyde's death car, which is covered in leather seats and sports a three-speed sliding-mesh manual transmission plus Ford's ground-breaking along a mass-produced 3.6-litre Flathead V8 engine has continued to capture people’s imagination for its history during the Great Depression era.
Apart from committing crimes such as bank robbery, homicide and abduction, the American criminal couple made headlines when the police ambushed their Ford 40 B Fordor Sedan and ventilated with approximately around 120 bullet holes in Louisiana back in 1934.
Bonnie and Clyde were slain in a hail of gunfire when the cops fired their weapons and marked a dramatic end of their period of crime.
The vehicle, which saw a bloody, horrific demise for one of the country's most evil couples, is still one of the most well-known cursed and haunted vehicles ever.
Another story that happens in Cape Town involves a ‘living’ Renault Megane. The Jumping Car of Cape Town story is about a family in South Africa that was awakened in the middle of the night by the noise of a boisterous engine.
Scared and afraid, the family assumed the gaudy and thundering echo came from their Renault Megane vehicle was about to get stolen.
The family then hurried to their driveway but instead of a car thief, they stumble upon a bouncing car with nobody in it. A Renault Megane came to life on its own would be the last thing the family would have expected but the eyes do not lie.
After what they saw, it leaves them with the only sensible answers there are. A living spirit haunting the car. According to the onlookers, the Renault Megane "jumped" backward twice up a hill without anyone starting it.
Although it would be interesting to have a ghost operating a car, the mystery was solved as turns out the frequent short circuits generated by a rusty starter cable were what actuated the Renault Megane's starter.
The short circuits were brought on by a rusted cable that connects to the battery supply relay box and causes the vehicle "jumped" backwards every time the cable short-circuited since it was parked in reverse, which started the starter.
