One of the high points is the Dodge in which Villa was riding when assassins caught up with him in Hidalgo de Parral. Lots of bullet holes in that vehicle. I have photos somewhere that I will post if I can dig them out of my unindexed Imageshack account. I found it interesting that the Dodge logo back then incorporated a Star of David. Dunno if that means the Dodge boys were Jewish, or if it has some other significance.

In the meantime.
Some photos of the car in which Jose Doroteo Arango was assassinated in 1923.
Edit. His secretary, Trillo apparently carried a double action Smith & Wesson revolver at his right hip. I think he had another handgun on his left.
