It looks like they are on their way to a car show in my neck of the woods. It seems like there is an unwritten rule that you can't have a car show in eastern NC without at least one "General Lee" present. Last May I went to a show at the local community college and there were 2 General Lees, one sheriff Roscoe cruiser, and the actor who played Cooter signing autographs.

And in reality they were on the way to their demise being crashed jumping over something. It is a pretty cool site to see them all on a matching orange transport.

There were quite a few of those cars used........found this on wikipedia...........

 

Although the estimated number of General Lees used varies from different sources, according to Ben Jones ("Cooter" in the show), as well as builders involved with the show, 320 General Lees were used to film the series. Others claim about 255 were used in the series. Approximately 17 still exist in various states of repair. On average, more than one General Lee was used up per show.

All fun aside there was an insurance commercial lately, I think, with the 2 dukes driving the general here and there..........but in this age of PC not in one single scene did they show the rebel flag on the roof.

Dirty Mary Crazy Larry was filmed in my nieghborhood.

Linden/Clements/Farmington/Sonora/Tracy.....

The crash scene through the billboard was done on our property.

According to Grandpa, he didn't give permission....just found the mess.

He wasn't upset....he pulled down what was left of the billboard and made shelves out of it.

Hey Paul F.-recognize any of this part #2 video from when we drove back roads from Modesto to 48D's  BBQ two years back??

 

It's the last part of the trip, but we went in the opposite way.

 

Thanks for posting the videos 48D.
