Dukes of Hazard General Lee Diecast 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.
