Interesting thread to me...interchangeable discussions of 60s/70s power cars and the legitimacy of the confederate flag in our country's history.
I live in MD, but very close to Gettysburg. This past Memorial Day in my local travels, I saw an extraordinary amount of pickup trucks flying confederate flags from their beds. I mentioned to my wife while we were shopping, that you never see people flying the confederate flags from sedans, i.e. the Penn State or NFL flags that clip into the closed car window. Hmmmm....
Then when we got home, my neighbor and good friend who happens to be black, told me how pissed he was cause he was stuck behind some "hillbilly" flying the "X" from his pickup, all the way down to Baltimore. That flag invokes a lot of different emotions.
BTW, I drive a pickup...
