Amazing pic's, especially the shots of the interior. I think this is my favorite Burt Reynolds movie.

@al_dorado Big believer in remembering the past. Our history is rich with stories celebrating our accomplishments. I can't think of any other country that celebrates a group of people who tried to overthrow that same country. Imagine King George building statues of Washington and Franklin or Germany having statues of Hitler. We have to remember our past but if we don't learn from it, it is for knott. Here is an example, Jefferson Davis and Robert Lee both voted against what we now call a rebel flag and it was never ratified by the Confederacy with it's other big link to history, it was designed by the same man who created the KKK. We need to start teaching real history.

@rich-sufficool As I mentioned on the 1/18 forum when you made the same comment about the Dukes of Hazard Charger, it's the way the car was and it's period correct so I would leave it, I just wouldn't throw shade to belittle other people for the post. Hey we're all different.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." - George Santayana, The Life of Reason, 1905. From the series Great Ideas of Western Man.
Exactly!
Leave it!
What happened, happened.
Ignoring it or removing all evidence of it doesn’t change a thing. We learn from our past and hiding it away will only make us forget, and when we do that, we are going to repeat it.

Could also be stated as, "Those who don't want to remember the past are condemned to repeat it". It's said the people would rather erase history or pretend it didn't happen, than to learn from it.
