    Seems like an awfully small trunk to fit a body into.

    My friends and I would judge cars on the basis of how many bodies could fit in the trunk. The Ford Taurus? that's about a three-body trunk.

    That car is beautiful, tho. ChiCops had nice paint jobs back then, I guess

    The car even had a flashing light, siren and the first police-band radio receiver in private hands.
    Imagine the advantage that radio gave them over the police. Until the police knew of that radio, they'd be unwittingly revealing all kinds of inside information to Capone. That must have been very spooky.
