watch out, Bugsy Siegel

Pentax K-1000
Elmhurst, PA

This fellow owned the 1939 classic automobile hired for Eric and Ali’s wedding, and I took his picture while he was waiting for them to finish their pictures at the church. I told him he totally looked the part, too — a private eye going after Bugsy Siegel.

    Great photo,
    I knew a guy once who bought a big black Buick around 1977, but the car year was about 1938. The rear window was wind down and it had a tripod on the rear window shelf to take a machine gun. Owner found bullets under the rear seat. A real gangster car I think.

    I’ve seen this picture somewhere before on a crime site relating to the mafia it says the guy is a private detective and that it was taken in 1940 or 41 it also has a newspaper article to go with it he was in pursuit of a kidnapped child.

    I think you found this image somewhere and are claiming you took it!
