    I found these in a storage shed that I acquired from a family member of the capones. Very cool stuff. I took some quick cellphone pics of a few of them. I am going to scan all them tomorrow and upload them so they will be better quality. Most of the photos are dated 1940-1943. The with the truck with his name on the side is from 1953. Figured you guys would enjoy the cars. Apparently he had a few different ones:D

    This guy seems a little old in these pictures to be Al Capone's grandson. Al's son named Albert Francis (Sonny) Copone would be about his age in these pictures.

  7. FYI, Albert Francis had four daughters, no sons.

    Still, any old photos from that era are cool. I have many of my parents when they were children and I know some of the history of the photos as well.

    My Dads uncle was one of Al Capone's book Keepers. I only knew him as uncle Fred.
