Information 2
The General Lee, seen on the Dukes of Hazzard, is without question the most famous car on television today. As the Duke cousin's seemingly indestructible 1969 Dodge Charger, it has as many close brushes with the law, survives just as many hair-raising adventures, and stoically endures as much abuse as the Dukes themselves. And yet the General gets no screen credit. The General Lee, however, is no mere automobile. Since the TV series began, it's become a true personality in its own right - so much so that car nuts in general and rabid Mopar buffs in particular watch the show as much to root for the General as for the Dukes behind the wheel. Indeed, the car is greatly responsible for the show's appeal, fast-paced action, and top-ten ratings success.
