It was crazy.'īonnie and Clyde replica movie death car, shot full of real bullet holes. And, boy, the people would take their hats off and all kinds of stuff. 'I got two old tombstones, had a sign painter add 'Bonnie' and 'Clyde' on them, and put them next to the car with the turf turned up in front of them, like real graves. 'I used to take a Death Car to state fairs in the South,' said Jay. Their efforts were so enthusiastic that the Death Car was blasted to an unrecognizable hulk. Another time he brought a Ford to the Las Vegas Police and asked them to shoot it full of bullets on their firing range. He once accidentally burned up a Death Car when he tried to enhance the holes in its upholstery with catsup and a lit cigarette. Making a Bonnie and Clyde car - taking a 1934 Ford and pumping it full of lead - sounds easier than engineering a giant motorized roller skate. He's also rendered several copies the Bonnie and Clyde Death Car and the Death Car from the 1967 Bonnie and Clyde movie. Some are replicas, built by Jay, who is proudest of the quirky cars such as his Barney Rubble log convertible and the Dragula coffin dragster from The Munsters. The museum features a number of iconic autos from the world of television and film.

Liberace's 1976 Bicentennial hot pants outfit. The Liberace cars - and several of his glittery outfits - were last seen in the long-closed Liberace Museum, and Hollywood Cars should be commended for bringing these baubles back out of their sequined closet. The movie cars came from museum owner Michael Dezer, who supposedly possesses the largest collection of Bond vehicles in the world. The Museum is a Halloween candy grab-bag of Jay's creations, the gaudy cars of Las Vegas legend Liberace, and the outlandish vehicles seen in James Bond films, such as the submarine Lotus Esprit from The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) and the absurd flying AMC Matador from The Man With the Golden Gun (1974). 'I get a lot of ideas from little kids,' said Jay. 'The first show car I built,' said Jay, 'was two bathtubs with a toilet for the driver's seat and toilet paper rolls for the pedals.' It vanished sometime over the past 50+ years, but Jay's similarly-spirited Bunk Bed hot rod has survived and is part of the Hollywood Cars collection. James Bond submarine car from 'The Spy Who Loved Me.' His vehicles are praised by the museum as 'Wild masterpieces from beyond the realm of Hollywood and our imaginations.' These include a motorized grand piano that can be played while being driven, and a car built inside a 12-foot-tall roller skate. The Hollywood Cars Museum displays one of Jay's earlier long-form creations: a 40-foot-long, 10-wheeled bubble gum pink limo with a heart-shaped hot tub.

'Right now I'm trying to raise money to build a 110-foot-long Rolls Royce with 50 wheels, a lap pool, and a helipad.' 'I love to build crazy cars,' Jay told us.
