General Lee

Remember this one , Bo n Luke Duke in their wild 69 Dodge Charger , the General Lee in the early 80's TV sitcom series The Dukes of Hazzard . Like the movie series this one was driven by a couple of spirited lads out to enjoy the day . They rolled into my coffee stop on this day and caused some commotion .. They wouldn't be Dukes if they didn't ..

Continuing ..

Interesting in the making of the television series something like 280 odd cars were used to make the daredevil jump scenes in the entire series . The doors were welded shut and the boots were weighted down with poured in concrete to have the cars land more neutral or with their tails down in the jump sequences so the mortality on these cars was heavy , a total disregard of the car , it was all for effect , the General appeared nigh indestructible , as only the General Lee could be . With all that said its nice to see such a good clean roadworthy example as this particular high calibre car .
