Thread: The Dukes of Hazzard

I agree, the car was the biggest star on the show. As for the power question, I think it's the magic of television. That car took a ton of abuse, after all, it was flying throught the air every other scene. I used to love watching that show each week.

I heard that the Dukes of Hazzard production used so many of those cars, it affected the resale value of them.

A couple years ago I saw a Honda Civic painted up to look like the General Lee.

John Schneider still has one of the General Lee's. He takes it around the country for special events. Personally, I was never into the show, and for crying out loud, not that ridiculous movie.

They definitely used movie magic for a lot of the stunts; but dang it still looked cool! Did you enjoy the more recent movie that was made? I'm not a fan of Jessica Simpson, but the movie had it's moments.

A friend of mine has a General Lee and I think he loves it more than his wife. If I can dig out a photo I will, but its been a while since I have found old photos (just a warning). Love the car myself but I am more of a Mustang gal.

I don't think it really had that much power. In movies you can make anything look better than in real life. I thought the movie was kind of lame, but I loved the series!
