They are customising for our market. Very smart on their part. And why not? I love the flag on the General Lee.
What about the Cobra Harley versions? or Dale Ernhardt versions? Again, appeal to the buyer.
We get something different and appealing to us that we like and they make a sale....;)

Pointman,

You have to stop and figure that the manufacture's request this Option for the US Market.

Some brands you can order the flag of the country you are in for them or whatever flag you want.

The NEW Magnum S-3 AM/FM also come's with a Old Glory American Flag Front Panel for a limited time.

I agree Lon, and I think it is great marketing, even better if you can get the country you live in flags. I like it...:)
