Yes, funny you say this. My buddy and I spoke about that yesterday. People love the two door coupes but man do I dig 4 doors on these cars.
Those back windows was all business back then. ;)
September 1959: The witness has to go, too.
Janice Drake lies dead. Beside her is the body of Anthony Carfano, aka 'Little Augie Pisano,' a boss in the Luciano crime family. Carfano began his career as a gunman and ended it at the point of a barrel. His murder was ordered by Vito Genovese in one of the many inter-family power struggles.
On the night of his death, Carfano had been at the Copacabana nightclub before bumping in to Janice Drake, the wife of a popular comedian. As a wife and woman, Drake was no angel. She spent many evenings with mob associates, was thrilled by the lifestyle (some say she was with Albert Anastasia the night before he died), and was thought to have played a minor role as a bag carrier.
The two were dining together when Carfano received a phone call. He immediately told Drake to join him, saying they had to leave urgently, and they hurried out to the car. Gunmen were waiting in the backseat of Carfano's Cadillac. They forced him to drive to a quiet spot and the two were each shot in the back of the head. Drake paid the ultimate price for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
