Hello guys, i've been living in the City of Chihuahua, Mexico, for the last year and today i got the chance to visit, what it used to be, the house of Pancho Villa, one of the most prominent Mexican Revolutionaries.
His house is now a museum and in this museum is in exhibition the car in which he was shot the 20th of July of 1923, besides the gun shots that you can see in the exterior panels and in the front grill, the tires (which are original of the time) caught my eye and just couldnt get the firestones deluxe out of my head. I think he would also dissaprove this tires due to previous experiences.

Well, in the 1920's, tire selection was very limted :p

Interesting side note... Pancho Villas last words were: "No me dejen morir así, digan que dije algo".
Which basically means: "Don't let me die like this, tell them I said something..."
