It’s part of movie and tv car lore that the production team for the Dukes of Hazzard series went through about 300 Dodge Chargers during the duration of the series. As a result, because all it takes to start a restoration these days is a VIN plate, there are more than a couple “authentic” General Lees rolling around. Of course most of those cars were wrecked. The number of cars that weren’t destroyed in stunts was pretty low, and the number that were used for “hero” shots of the car even lower yet. I’ve met a collector who owns one of those General Lees used for principle photography in the series as well as one of the two authentic Monkeemobiles (George Barris’ shop made some promotional replicas besides the two cars used to shoot that series).
Great post! Nothing makes me angrier than the woke mob retroactively attempting to rewrite history. Let’s take down statues of historical figures who actually matter—good, bad or otherwise—and replace them with more recent “heroes” like Marion Berry and George Floyd. The Dukes of Hazzard was a goofy, period-acceptable, comedy that nobody cared about for years. Then the wokesters—and their useful idiot appeasers (stand up Bubba Watson!)—had to fix things. Thanks for the post.
