By kate duncan

All about archduke and his car!

This is Archduke Franz  car that he was assassinated in. The Archduke was killed while he was traveling to Sarajevo. The person who killed the Archduke was Gavrilo Princip and one reason why he killed the archduke. After archduke died the car was put in a museum and that is where I have been ever since . His car was a four cylinder 32hp black car and as of right now it is one of the most valued pieces of history. The car carrying archduke had a license plate that said AIII 118. At 10:10 am the black hand threw a bomb into the car. It had bounced out and rolled under the car. The first attempt of kill him had failed si when he had taken a wrong turn the second killing attempt had happened and than that one had succeeded .
