  1. Put Lee and Grant on racetrack, create event "Make Race not War". Ask reenactors to give some show, hell give a signal to start by firing old cannon! :D

    1. That is a remarkable coicidence, but, they aren't the two most famous autos in the world. Maybe to guys who were in grade school in the 80s. But, you bring up a good question. What are the components of the most famous car in the world? Hollywood use? Most duplicated in car toys? Comes to mind in a random poll of random people? Or, just to car guys?

    4. Well, you stuck your foot in it. Watch the movie, https://www.imcdb.org/v002514.html there is a confederate flag on the front license plate. I believe you owe an apology. You really should have checked before commenting

    5. Technically, the Bandit's TA has a Georgia Flag license plate, but I understand.

    2. Lee is still better. At least the Confederates didnt hide slaves like Lincoln and grant did. Id take general lee any day. This is just a insult to both the good tv and history. 🤢 .....i will admit the blue color looks good, just needs the right name on it.

  6. Yes I am the owner of the one and only general Grant. The car was Built-in 2006, Let me give you a insight on what it stands for. The number 50 is for the 50 States United in peace. Also I used a 68 charger instead of a 69, I used different rims not vectors, the push bar is smaller, and I thought be 5 blue slightly lightened would be an appropriate color for a Union Car. Don't get me wrong I am a Dukes of Hazzard fan, but for all you die hard insulting rebel dude's That think the Dodge Charger is a Southern car you are sadly mistaking there was not one charger made in the Southern States that's all Detroit steel baby and that is in Michigan sorry to burst your bubble. That's all for now folks.

    1. Those aren't vectors? They look like vectors. Anyway, I get a kick out of the entire theme of being the foil to the General Lee... even tires that are northern, instead of BFG T/As... after all, T/A stands for Tuscaloosa Alabama

    4. The number should have been either 23 for all the union states, or 34 by adding the 11 confederate states......imo. That's how many states there were during the civil war. But the car is gorgeous!

  7. Gorgeous. Went to search a suitable design for a car called "General Grant", wasn't disappointed that someone had made one. Though not quite what I actually anticipated, but equally gorgeous.
