I always wondered how many General Lee’s there were. Hell of a car, could do a jump, rip out the whole under carriage, break the drive shaft, smash the suspension and still speed away from the Sheriff Roscoe.
That show was great. James Best , Denver Pyle both started in westerns and were in many shows before Dukes. Denver Pyle was very wealthy from early real estate investments and did not need to work he just enjoyed acting.
Most of them weren’t real ’69 Chargers, but mock-ups made from other cars to smash and crash.

Look at all those white people doing white people things without killing and robbing each other or their communities. I love white people.
Yep, no twerking, looting, knockout games, no pants hanging off yo ass, no ebonics, no jumping up and down on police cars.
Good times, good times.
And they all spoke English … fancy that …
Ah, yes. For the good ole days.
No going back is there? We’ve passed the point of no return.
We did it at least in ’65 when LBJ signed 2 anti-American laws: the immigration act and the great society …
When I was a young kid my dad would drive his Road Runner so fast it would scare the hell outta me he’d make me promise not to tell my grandmother.
With an average value of about 100K the Dukes of Hazard destroyed millions and millions of dollars worth of excellent muscle cars.. It was a crime.
That’s why they’re now worth that much…fewer survived.
You can’t say the same about a Chevy vega or Ford pinto and not many of them survived either.
6th from top:
I know that van. Stay away from that van!
The soiled doves of the sixties.
For a certain demographic though, that looks pretty inviting…in an Up In Smoke sort of way.
Am I the only one who thinks the spoiler on that Plymouth looks dumb? Did it really serve a purpose or was it there to just look cool?
Have any of those spoilers — other than, maybe, on actual racing cars — ever been functional?
Geez … this is a tough audience today …
Back in the day, they had to sell the model they wanted to race in NASCAR. The winged monsters dominated the super speedways in their short time and reached 200 mph which prompted them to be banned from racing.
That makes sense for a NASCAR race car but not for a street car unless you plan to outrun the cops all the time.
Correct. It is an all time historic car.
Those rear spoilers on the Plymouth Superbirds and Dodge Daytonas definitely had a purpose for NASCAR racing, in fact it had such an effect they were banned for racing after a certain point due to the aerodynamic advantage they produced. Richard Petty was supposedly instrumental in their development. The production versions of those cars bring huge bucks these days depending on engine option, paint code, quality of restoration, etc. I was watching an auto auction recently where several examples were sold, they went for 300k up to 1 million bucks
A guy from nearby town had one and every time he came cruising through town, the girls would swoon.
Yes and no, alone yes, with the two honeys sitting on them no.
Presentation is everything.
I can’t recall the last time I was able to get 5 or six people together to play poker. With a casino.every 20 miles now even the bingo parlors have gone bust.
From 1994 to 1999 I had a monthly Friday night poker game with mostly the same four other guys…we all worked together in the HQ of a billion dollar a year retail company.
It was always a blast. You could lose $50 or win $50…at most…low stakes intentionally…but we were a live wire rowdy group.
My wife was a great hostess…she made sure there were plenty of snacks…ordered and delivered the pizza on plates with napkins, always greeted the boys individually with grace and affection, and left us alone in the finished basement to hoot and holler for four or five hours…only coming down to replenish the snack bowls.
If anyone was too drunk to drive home she would get the guest room ready and try and take their keys…or plead with them to call their wife.
A few times the word spread at HQ and we had to set up two tables! One night we had three tables!
During the last year at one of the last games (I was leaving the corporate cocoon to go with a startup and really gamble) we only had four players and we persuaded my wife (who did not play or understand poker) to sit in.
She picked it up pretty fast as the night progressed…and just before we were wrapping it up about midnight she stayed pat and bet/raised everyone (we all had decent hands) the max!
Everyone stayed with her…because she had tried to bluff on another hand earlier…it didn’t work and she was giggling when exposed.
On the last call she laid this natural dealt to her with no draw down…giggling… and laughing out loud as everyone yowled while she was raking the mound of quarters into her pile like Doc Holiday in Tombstone!
I have still, to this day, never had that hand ..natural.
I have had one Royal dealt to me in video poker. It makes your heart flutter & pays 250 to 1.
Indian casinos pretty much ruined that.
Ugh! Jamie Lee Curtis?
Ollie ollie auction, free, free, free!
Glad to see this return!
I am so grateful that I could experience all that first hand.
I see those 2 girls on that cars spoiler and think that many of today’s young girls would be too heavy for that fiber glass spoiler.
Please notice Harley Fanatics that Steve McQueen was riding a Triumph!!!
I was in high school in the 70s….wow
I recognize that Captain Kangaroo clock …
Grandfather clock. Had to be woke up each day.
Remember Mr. Green Jeans?
What’s the deal with Cummins diesel truck?? Where’d he get the wheels ? From the future somehow??
