General Lee

The General Lee is a bright orange 1969 Dodge Charger, easily identified by the Confederate flag painted on its roof and the number 01 on both doors. The car features welded doors, requiring the Dukes to enter and exit through the windows, and is equipped with a push bar on the front bumper. It is renowned for its durability and performance during high-speed chases across Hazzard County.

Significance

The vehicle is central to the series, often outmanoeuvring the local police force led by Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane. It is frequently seen performing spectacular jumps over rivers and obstacles, a signature element of the show. The car has become an iconic symbol of the franchise, representing the rebellious spirit and resourcefulness of the Duke family as they evade the corrupt schemes of Boss Hogg.
