Adaptation B - Background of Idea

I'm thinking of taking the history of the 1930's bootlegging industry from 'Neal Thompson' Book 'Driving with the Devil', and making a slightly futuristic version of events - The main characters have been highlighted above that will be adapted to fit their new world, Transporting a banned Elixir of the future. Unfolding into a series of Cat and Mouse scenarios. Though for this Project, I would like to focus on the Main Bootlegger and Vehicle.
