Well, Shoot!

100 year old story from the local newspaper. Side note. Colorado embraced Prohibition while Wyoming didn't until national prohibition was imposed.

A Ford flivver, a plane Henry Ford called "the Model-T of the air," crashed into a slow-moving Cadillac east of Greeley before dawn this morning, and 200 bottles of booze in the Cadillac were destroyed. The Cadillac was being driven without headlights. The police were called, but the driver of the Cadillac went on to Denver without waiting to be arrested.

Imagine the conversation that followed between the pilot and the bootlegger.

Fliver?
