The Duke Of Hazzard’s General Lee

 

I know you know who General Lee is. Well for those who do not, lemme tell you something about it. General Lee is the automobile driven by the Duke cousins Bo and Luke in the television series The Dukes of Hazzard. It is known for being part of chases and stunts, especially high jumps, in almost every episode. The car’s name is a reference to the Confederate General Robert E. Lee. You can read the entire details of this at Wikipedia.org.

The Wikipedia.org says, “The idea for the General Lee was developed from the famous bootlegger Jerry Rushing’s car, which was named for General Lee’s favorite horse, Traveler. Traveler was also the name of the car in Moonrunners, the 1975 movie precursor to The Dukes of Hazzard.”
