The Dillinger's 1930 FORD "MODEL A"On the night of July 22, 1934, a team of FBI agents nervously waited in the sticky heat outside the Biograph Theater in Chicago. They waited for John Dillinger, Public Enemy #1. Shortly, the movie ended and the theater released its audience onto the street, John Dillinger among them. Using a prearranged signal, Melvin Purvis, head of the FBI team, lit his cigar and three agents opened fire. The hail of bullets wounded two bystanders and killed Dillinger. His death ended a crime spree that had lasted only 11 months. In that short time his activities captivated the imagination of the country creating a legend that persists today.
