I loved the original filming locations in Georgia. When they moved the show to L.A., I liked it, but not nearly as much. I just loved how some days were overcast, not like the L.A. version. I also thought that James Best was actually acting back then.

The first general Lee had a full tan roll cage and the crossed flags on the back and also the interior was much darker witch that could of just been the camera’s from back then and also the paint on the car would not of been real shiny like that they didn’t was the cars to have a glare so the ppl filming wouldn’t been seen on the reflection I feel like this car is either been restored or just simply a replica and there should be Crome going down the car from the windows and the cb antenna is all rowing too

Yeah they should have signed under the trunk lid where it would stay protected. This would annoy the hell out of me it kind of makes the car almost underivable, and theres nothing worse than a garaged showpony.. You cant even really put a layer of clear coat over the area without having to do the whole rear section and roof so you would have to do the whole car... Although the black marker would probably would start to run if the clear coat had paint thinners in it..

In the Georgia episodes the General had a checkered racing flag and the Confederate flat cross crossed on the rear deck between the rear window and trunk lid. That begs the question either what happened to them or this isn't an exact original of the Georgia episodes.

Theres usually cars for close up shot that were the more decked out cars, and then the cars they used for stunts and then the jump cars. The first season still would have been the same so if this is no. 8 then its unlikely to have been a dressed up car.

@@scottnichols309 Just create a religion and make the flag the official totem and I think the states would have to allow it. If the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster religion can have a stainless steel colander (pasta drainer) as the official headdress and therefore allow people to wear one on their head in their drivers license photo. I cant see how you couldn't have the flag on the roof of a car.
