Rebel Soul - 1977 Confederate Edition Super Glide







From Iron Horse 1995.
I obtained these scans from the Speeddriven Supply blog.
An excellent article answering a lot of questions about the now mythical Confederate Harley-Davidsons.
These magnify fairly good, so click on each page and then click 'show original' to read.

This thing is loaded with good quotes-here's a couple.

"Harley's problem is that it has let others define for them just what the Confederate battle flag represents."

"Instead of advising whining 'activists' to behave like adults and deal with a complex historical symbol in a rational way, the corporation has dropped the Confederate battle flag in the dust. How long before they do the same with the Stars 'n' Stripes?"

One of only 44 of the Confederate FLH models that left the factory.

O-OH-7

1967
Country singers on their way to Nashville have car trouble, forcing them to stop at an old haunted mansion. Soon they realize that the house is not only haunted, but is also the headquarters of a ring of international spies after a top secret formula for rocket fuel. (IMDB)
"Hear your favorite country-western stars!" like Merle Haggard.
