Thumbs up The Perfect Tribute Car...

I saw this car at The Lot last month but was unable to get good pics of it, so once I saw that it came to this show & was out in the sunlight, I took several pics of it. This Mach 1 is absolutely gorgeous & is the perfect tribute car. Who better to make a tribute car for then those men & women who have served the country in the past & who are still doing it to this day. These people have endured all types of hardships & I have recently thought about joining the Navy, but I decided that I wouldn’t be able to handle it. I have come from a long line of people who have dedicated their time to the military & I can only imagine what all these people have sacrificed to help give us the freedoms that we have today. So here’s to you!










btw it is a custom graphic body wrap, not painted on the car...

Was that paint, or vinyl? Almost has the sheen of vinyl.

Pretty cool.

I'm sure he's proud to drive, and i am not- at - all taking away from those who serve, but i don't like the wrap at all.

Well part of me thinks maybe a company owns it bcuz it sounds like they only take it to hugee shows & special events, & last time there was a girl sitting next to it & this time there was a guy sitting by it so idk. They said a couple weeks ago they took it to some sort of event at Scott Air Force Base

Something America would have been just fine.
Something along the lines of the graphics that a member just recently removed from his 84(?) Monte SS clone.(according to member)

i respect them for what they are doing with supporting the soldiers, but in my opinion they ruined the car.

I admire what they did and the message they're trying to convey to others.

It's their car. They can do witgh it as they please.

Two fridays ago we attended a large (for my area) cruise-in, in New Carlisle, OH. A man & woman had their Magnum Wagon decorated in remembrance of their son who lost his life serving this country. Debbie & I both took several photos of the car. It was very touching to see scenes that included their lost son. I remember hearing or reading about this car someplace. That a company in the area did the graphics work on the car.

See personally I don't think it's about the car itself, it's what it represents. Part of me thinks it should've been a Camaro but that could prob just be bcuz I'm a Chevy person lol. & besides look at it this way, at least it's doing a good thing instead of being ghetto'ed out or sitting in a junk yard rotting to pieces. Check out this airbrushed beauty...the talent of people just amazes me!
