James John Dillinger Personal Auto To Be Displayed The personal car of John D51 linerer, gangland kingpin of the prohibition era, will be on dis play at Plattsmouth, Tuesday, Oct. 4. The Plattsmouth police department, sponsors of the car, will make a modest charge to view the bullet-proof car. Dillinger's 16-cylinder 1931 Cadillac was considered the most formidable machine for crime in its day. The car weighs 9,144 pounds over twice the weight of ordinary cars and was equip ped with several anti-pursuit mechanisms. The V-type engine had smoke and tear gas generators, and a device beneath the car sprayed tacks onto the road to puncture tires of would-be apprehenders. The car was equipped with a two-wave radio to pick up police calls. Designed for speeds in excess of 10 miles an hour, the car had ballet-proof glass with ports through which guns could be fired. Dillinger and his mobsters re portedly used the car in a total nf 39 holdups and 13 murders. The vehicle was finally aban doned near East St. Louis when it ran out of gas during a chase by police. Dillinger eventually was "slain by rjolice (July 19, 1934) outside a Chicago theatre on a tip from the gangster's ex-girl friend, later to become known as "The Lady in Red." Since the Volos region of Greece was hit by a devastating earthquake in late April, the American Junior Red Cross has shipped 15,000 gift boxes and 25 cases of school supplies to children in that area.
