Dukes
of Hazard General Lee die cast Model Collection Cars
The General
Lee was general considered a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T with the 440-cubic-inch
Magnum V8 engine, although a number of variations were used. Body
color was Hemi Orange with flat black around the tail lights,
a Confederate Flag on the roof with General Lee spelled out to
the side of it, 01 on both doors. Over 300 Dodge Chargers were
used on the show because of the wreck need to make the show, this
is the biggest reason today collectors do not want to see another
new Dukes of Hazards movie filmed. At least 3-4 general Lee cars
were used per episode. As for the General Lee's horn, it was discovered
when the production crew, on their way to start shooting, passed
a car with a horn that tooted the first 12 notes of Dixie. The
crew made an immediate 180-degree turn, pursued the car full of
kids, and motioned to them to pull over. The crew kept offering
the kids money until they finally just opened the hood, pulled
the horn out, and sold it to then, they could have purchased in
a store for much less.
The main story
of the Dukes of Hazzard has the Dukes fighting to keep the family
farm. The "Duke Boys" and their orange Dodge Charger
"The General Lee" keeps them one step ahead of the authorities.
Jessica Simpson plays the consummate eye-candy role in the Dukes
of Hazzard as she helps her Hazard family spin circles around
Boss Hogg.
