General lee flag ..... Gone !!!!

[TMANSTOYS]

I did get a letter from Tomy. It is true the flag is gone. The stuff with the flag is on discount. WOW !!

I dunno,

Like I said, I always try to look at things from all points of view.

Most people that complain about things being too PC are usually on the majority side.

Forgive me, but I love a good debate and always grab the underdog position

[MEMEGO]

this is morre pure bull**** PC crap. I HAVE SAID IT IN THE PAST AND I WILL SAY IT AGAIN, WE NEED TO STOP ALL OF THIS PC ****, IT WILL AND IS STEPPING ON OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO FREELY EXPRESS OURSELFS. WE NEED TO STAND UP AND PUT A STOP TO ALL THIS CRAP BEFORE WE COMPLETLY LOOSE ALL OUR RIGHTS.

That's barely an article. Just because someone typed it doesn't make it journalism. It quotes one source and that source is quoting the un-named toy dude on a hobby website. None of these articles say "According to Warner Bros" or even "Warner Bros declined comment". Nobody is checking this thing out, they are just getting all riled up about this terrible PC world run amuck...I call BS.

You're so naieve Scott. If it's posted on the internet, it must be true. That's the rule.

A few years ago a friend of mine went to Florida and bought a Confederate Flag at a flea market. The vendor whispered to him "I've got Klan flags in my car"

So I spent a few minutes looking around on Google news for the source of this story (which leads to a charming tour of various racist websites, ugh....)

Wow, what a shock. No, not really.

Anyhoo...

A few products from the official WB online store.

The flag is still there.

I bought the car in 1993. It was a rusty beaten pos. i restored it in 1996. I replaced the floors, trunk, quarter panels etc. it is a numbers matching r/t with 440ci engine. In 2005 before the movie came out my wife gave me the green light to change it into the general lee for the movie premiere here in Omaha. I will probably keep i this way for a few more years then either sell it or restore back to original.

That's friggin' sweet, man...that one would be a keeper for me...no doubt.

I'm restoring a 64 1/2 Mustang coupe myself...not going too original though...it's going to be a little bit of a restomod.

Thanks for the picture...what a beauty!

Jacs,

Did you buy it like that...or did you buy an ordinary Charger...and worked your magic on it?

I know you are a pro car painter.

I will call Tomy tommorow. I have a account with them so I will ask my sales rep. Lets hope its not true.

[ODBJBG]

Before we turn this into a southern/slavery/KKK debate, It makes no sens what WB is doing. People watched the show for the stunts, not for the confederate flag * *

If that's true, you've basically just made a case for why it's perfectly fine to remove the flag. If nobody cares about the flag and no one watched it for the flag, they no one should care if it's removed.

So I spent a few minutes looking around on Google news for the source of this story (which leads to a charming tour of various racist websites, ugh....) There's been no official announcement fromWarner Bros about this, the whole thing seems to be traceable to a post on HobbyTalk where some dude claims a rep told him this.

It could be true, but it could also be total internet BS.

It's probably BS. The whole thing doesn't make any sense to begin with.

I have stockpiled a ton of general lees of all sorts. I'm glad i did.
