I have read that Clyde was partial to the Ford, because of it's speed.

A letter to Henry Ford from Clyde Barrow:

Dear Sir,
While I still have got breath in my lungs I will tell you what a dandy car you make. I have drove Fords exclusively when I could get away with one. For sustained speed and freedom from trouble the Ford has got ever other car skinned and even if my business hasn't been strictly legal it don't hurt anything to tell you what a fine car you got in the V8.
Yours truly,
Clyde Champion Barrow
