I was with a group of car guys (around 8-9) and I thought I would see if anyone could identify the person in this photo. I was surprised when only one person guessed right.

I did the same thing with a 3 other friends and none of them had the correct answer.

So, let's see who gets it right here. It shouldn't be too hard.

Who is it in the photo?

One of the James brothers?

William Bonney AKA Billy the kid

(Since you said "car guys" , i was expecting Henry Ford, Carol Shelby or Barney Oldfeild

)

Methinks Mikado has it.

You got it! Billy the Kid... 1859 (or 1860)- 1881.

I can't believe those car guys didn't know... two of them are well over 60 years old and I would have thought they would know.

Car guys... another phrase to describe car enthusiasts.

William Bonney is EZ to recognise cause of his large ears , and buck teeth (The Hollywood versions never looked a THING like him!

)

It should be noted that this famous photo depicts Billy The Kid as Left handed, since his gun is on his left hip.

This is in fact, false.

The photo is shown in reverse. Billy the Kid was right handed.

I have seen that pic of Billy the Kid numerous times so to me, it is easily recognizable.

Right. Someone noticed that the rile loads on the left when it should be on the right. And because of this photo, many thought he was left-handed when he wasn't.
