Bonnie and Clyde Death Car License Plate

I have carefully and accurately recreated this historic plate from an identical 1934 period Arkansas plate (numbering excluded). The plate was only a few months old when the following event took place. At approximately 9:15 a.m. on May 23, 1934 the notorious and often romanticized criminal duo Bonnie Elizabeth Parker (b. October 1, 1910) and Clyde Champion Barrow (b. March 24, 1909) were ambushed and killed by a posse of four Texas law enforcement officers on a rural road in Bienville Parish, Louisiana. On that fateful day they were driving a stolen 1934 Ford V-8 Deluxe Sedan, their "death car", bearing a stolen Arkansas license plate # 1934 15-368 ARK. This license plate vanished shortly after the ambush and has never reappeared...UNTIL NOW.
