ICM 1/24 Scale Ford Model A Gangster Car Model Kit

ICM 1/24 Scale Ford Model A Gangster Car Model Kit 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 fuelled 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.
