Oh my! I actually saw that very car once, at the County Fair, when I was (IIRC) ten or so. I was quite impressed at the time, but then, as I grew older, I came to accept the prevailing local wisdom that it was just some old car that someone had shot full of holes and cut some chickens throats inside of (because the seats were drenched in old, dried blood).
Then, about twenty years ago or so, I ended up chatting online with this guy who was a scholar on Depression-era gangsters, and mentioned my experience in passing (the actual discussion started out to be about something completely different that I don't even recall anymore), and he perked right up and started asking questions about it, and came to the conclusion that it was probably the original car that I'd seen. So, yeah.
