Ford a

Gangster car

The unregulated growth and oversaturation of the united states market led to the great depression, beginning with the october 1929 stock market crash. this economic crisis fueled a rise in banditry, with bank robberies becoming particularly notorious. these crimes were made more effective by gangsters' use of automobiles. as one analyst observed in the 1920s: "cars and good roads have dramatically increased certain types of crime. we now see a new kind of automobile bandit who relies entirely on a car—whether robbing banks, breaking into homes, or mugging pedestrians." the criminals' success was further enhanced by thompson submachine guns, which boasted rapid-fire capability and earned the nickname "tommy gun." notably, these weapons cost around 200 dollars—about half the price of a ford model a automobile.
