December 4, 1928 “Dapper Dan” Hogan, a St. Paul, Minnesota Irish mob boss, is killed when someone plants a car bomb under the floorboards of his new Paige coupe.

Frank DeCicco was the last, huh? I was looking at the picture of the aftermath and it's really scary imagining something like that happening just in a neighborhood in America. Seemed like even the bystanders looked disturbed. Shootings were one thing but this was weird. They had to have been wondering if this would become a norm. Gravano's description of it in his book was horrifying.

Yes was the last also because after 9/11 a car bomb would generate to much heat.

Chicago associates.

Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal survived car bombing. October 4, 1982

In July 1972, a prominent local attorney, William Coulthard, died in a car bombing in downtown Las Vegas. Car bombing was a popular mob tactic in Vegas in the 1970s and 1980s.

Furio, Frank DeCicco is indeed the last mobster killed in a car bombing, but since 9-11-2001, there have been two other car bombings the mafia has used, a couple years back, there was one in Southern Italy, that method is still rare.

Giacomo I said DeCicco was the last in US.Even in south italy the car bomb wasnt use because shoot someone is more easy and creare l'essenza heat.
