As a black man who grew up watching the The Duke's Of Hazard and still a fan, when people started crying about the the flag, your show NEVER preached racism or hatred. The Duke's Of Hazard always preached right from wrong. I thank you and the show for being a great show.
Amen brother. I grew up watching it as well & there was definitely no racism in this show.
That's right
@@oldschooltruckdriver6740 Unfortunately nowadays everything you do and say becomes racist if someone doesn't agree with you. Damn Snowflakes. lol
Racism is far from being the worst problem in this country. It's an inflated Boogeyman. Martin Luther King jr. Is rolling in his grave.
Salazar Payne I say that all the time, the way these kids act now a days is an absolute, pure disgrace to they’re ancestors who actually had to deal with real racism and oppression, and actually fought for they’re freedoms that they have today, and they walk all over it like it means nothing. MLK would be devastated if he seen how things were today. If they’re ancestors seen today how loosely they threw that racism term around and played the race card for anything that hurts they’re feelings, everyone of them would get they’re head smacked off they’re dang shoulders by they’re own ancestors. It’s really a pure disgrace, it makes me absolutely sick and I’m not even African American.
In my town a guy painted his smart car like the General Lee, named it General Wee.
Haha that's funny!
I think I know that car lol are you from Indiana?
@@Thelonesomerebel yup, kokomo
My buddy has one too in Ontario canada
Haha I would love to have that
I can't describe how great it is that John Schneider has his own General Lee.
I like that John's car is a driver. Updating the driveline, brakes, suspension, tires, and stuff.... makes a classically styled car ride and drive like a new one. Good mileage, ride, handling, power, ... gives you the best of both worlds.
Its only proper
No doubt
Agreed. Somehow there is something right and proper in the universe with him having his own General Lee.
Right on. Like Dan Ackroyd and Ecto I!
Growing up in an abusive childhood, the Dukes always helped me escape the pain and the scary times. Thank you for giving me that little bit of relief!
I’m glad you got some solace during those times and I hope things are much better for you now.
As a black kid growing up it was Dukes, Knight Rider and then Miami Vice. I had the dukes of hazzard race track set with the little cardboard ramp in the middle of the track...good times man. Never got hung up over the flag on a car on a tv show about two dudes fighting bad guys.
When I grew up I saw black people wearing Confederate flag shirts. Those shirts were very popular back then. Honestly nobody cared until politicians told them they should
When I was 4 and got my first bike it was the General Lee model. I loved it. I grew up in Ohio and not once did I think “I don’t like black people” or “I’m from the North, screw the South.” It was just a fun TV show. Of course, that was the 80s when we didn’t get hung up on things like that so much. I’m now in my 40s and have met thousands of people and have only met one racist. Yet today, they try to sell this story that racism is our biggest problem. It’s not. The politicians and the media selling that story are our biggest problem. When they try to divide us we need to reject them until they learn it’s not going to work.
are you 47 too?
Me too, I never saw anything disrespectful in the show. Although I didn't see allot of black people the show was great.
@@anastaciolepe6168 i mean it was 1970s small Georgia/Bama town
Anything Bo does to his General Lee, is technically accurate.
Best comment award!
When he said his steering wheel was not General Lee, my very first though was;
How can it not be.
Anything Bo or Luke does to a car called General Lee, is an offical General Lee.
If he painted it pink with a rainbow flag it still would be a General Lee. Now we may have to call it "Bo's mental breakdown General Lee"
However, we don't have to worry. I'm sure John would never do that.
@@pychohobo1832 OMG! Don't even joke around like that! I was going to spend the rest of my day worrying that John was going to paint that beautiful car pink! But since you said I don't have to worry then I guess I can carry on with my day as normally as possible without any extra worry tacked on, thanks
@@davidcarpenter9234 lol. John will never do that.
Meet him many years ago while he was filming Dukes in California. Quite sure he doesn't remember me. I was just a star struck kid with a bunch of others.
But he is a good guy. He wouldn't do that.
exactly. he’s Bo Duke. it’s his car.
As a teen growing up in rural area of Colorado this was my favorite show on Friday nights. Those were the days of innocence back then.
the good old boys for real
This was the car I wanted as a kid. As an adult I can not afford one now. Beautiful rendition of a timeless classic, John. Thanks for letting us look at it.
Hell, I still want one, tell you what!!!!!
I love that John is super famous, and lives in a normal house in a normal neighborhood and seems like a humble, normal guy.
AND owns a FIERO HAHAHAHA!!!!
And he has a cat named the same thing as the dog from Smokey and the Bandit! Rock on John, Rock on!
@@jerwatson79 - A few posts down, he says: "it's Alicia’s Fiero which was her car when She graduated 😉
Sometimes modesty is just running out of money from a bunch of hookers and blow.
@@ipissed As shocking as how some may take your statement, there is definitely some truth as it wraps up the story of the Prodigal Son succinctly. And then there are those who have a humble spirit because they've realized they're lives are immeasurably blessed beyond what they deserve. Either way, humility is an honorable characteristic. 😁. Merry Christmas🎄
It doesn’t matter if it’s not screen accurate. If John Schneider owns a General Lee, it’s a real General Lee.
your right , plant Mr. Schneider behind the wheel , a dixie horn , full livery , and if the back tires will spin , it's the real deal !
I was saying the same thing in my head.
Yep thinking that very same thing
@@towrecker Wierd side note, your comment made me think of the wierdo European dude in the movie "Eurotrip" that has his Renault painted up like the General (Dixie horn and all).
Suddenly I pictured John behind the wheel of that monstrosity! 🤣
Yep
@0:34 😂 Love you John!! You’re a great American patriot. Loved The Dukes 🇺🇸 ❤️
I think it’s so awesome that this car, that show made him famous & no matter how many times he’s worked in one, driven one, jumped one, crashed one, ALLLLL these years later, he still got one! Thank you John/Bo for keeping the General Lee alive 😎 Oh, & it’s gotta have the horn to be a True General Lee!
Sir, as an Englishman from across the pond, I salute you. When the show was on British TV, every saturday was spent at my nans and this was by far the highlight of the day! Those 30+ years inbetween I've spent with cars and motorbikes and never forgotten the line
"Straightening the curves, flattening the hills" what an absolute motto for life.
You are a real gentleman and Fred the cat is pretty cool too.
Many thanks for a significant slice of my childhood, cheers.
bushmanpm What a delightful comment to read after a long day. You are most welcome. Thank you for your kind words
Hey bushmanpm , as a fellow Brit who also grew up watching the Duke Boys, your message brought back a lot of memories. I now live in Canada ad I'm still a huge Mopar fan. There's always a few General Lee's every year at the Mopar Nationals, and every year I think to myself, hmm, maybe I'll build one of those for next year......a man's gotta dream!! Anyway, good luck mate, and all the best.
@@andrewbrown8750 would it be really naughty to say I prefer the'68 Charger because of the twin rear tail lights? This, from a guy who is trying to graft 4x 1959 Cadillac tail lights onto the back of my Triumph Speed Triple! ;-)
Imagine getting gas at the station when a general lee pulls in and Bo is the one getting out of it. That would be the highest levels of epic!
Specifically if'in Luke and Daisy were with him ...
I would probably cry like a little boy. HAHA
Depends on what city and state you are in. Probably be a " mostly peaceful protest" first and 15 minutes later the gas station and everything else would be on fire.
I would have to be looking for the cameras, and waiting any second for Roscoe to come tearing around a corner somewhere. 😂
Mr. Schneider, I watch "The Dukes" as a kid one of my favorite shows. Now in 2021 I am starting to appreciate you personally as one of my favorite people. You have class, intelligence and stand up for our American values.
Fred the cat comes rolling through meow! 😂 Loved watching the Dukes after school, great times and memories! Waylon rocked!
It's just refreshing to see a real celebrity who comes across as a decent and genuine human being. You can tell that John really enjoys talking with the fans. A class guy.
dcipawn Yes he certainly does! A really great guy!
dcipawn he’s what’s called real
Anybody else get the feeling he would be that great older brother you never had?
I met John Schneider along with a friend of mine at a car show that was hosted in a park in LA in summer of 1998, if I remember correctly. We did not expect him to be there. I remember he was at a table with someone else selling General Lee die cast cars and there was a life size General Lee nearby as well. He was so friendly and down to earth that it was like talking to another car enthusiast, not a celebrity. Although, after initially spotting him there, we were like is that really John Schneider? Let's go find out, and we did.
@@Scott-hb1xn no
I watched Dukes with my father as a little girl. Those were some of the best times in my life. I lost him in 2015 so these videos bring light to my day. Thank you for sharing this. Editing to add. My uncle had a Road Runner. His horn was the same was the General Lee's. He'd always give a honk for me when he was coming over. I thought I was the luckiest little girl in the world.
That’s a sweet story about your dad. I hope you find him soon, love from Ireland.
Cringe lady. Here's a fun fact for the wheat reading: tares aka fallen angels playing pretend masquerading as people say stuff like this. Death is some "poor me" thing.
John I just wanna thank you for keeping the spirit of General Lee alive. My dad would get home from work just in time to watch Dukes with me every day. Definitely one of my favorite memories.
Mr Schneider, my childhood hero was yourself and The Evel Knievel. Thank you for so many bike and gocart ramp jumping memories including the wipeouts. My prayers are with you sir during your time of great loss. By the way you were awesome on the "Masked Singer."
you installed a brake specifically for sliding the tail end out? my childhood hero is my adulthood hero!
:) YES!
If you close your eyes you can hear David Hasselhoff
@@regalt1987 i'm sorry Micheal, you're hearing things....
It’s an Emergency brake, every single car has one. But they are either Engaged with a handle or a foot pedal. Older cars have a handle that would lock and needed to be twisted to loosen up. He just converted the way the rear E-brake engaged.
@@doug7005 it is and it isn't,
he's converted it to a hydraulic e brake for drifting ,
it will only apply force hile the pedal is depressed,go search some drifting ids,most are mounted in the console area next to the gear shift,cleetus has on on leroy to,but that's hooked up to his trans brake
Hi John from the UK you will never know how much the Dukes meant to me and my friends in the early 80s, I am glad I found you on line and that you are doing great. Thanks again.
You just blew my mind. Never in a million years would I have thought a show about a couple crazy ass Southern boys would have been shown in the UK. Well, we did have Dr. Who at the time sooo. And the Two Ronnies. And Benny Hill. And Monty Python.
Ps. Tom Baker was my favorite Dr.
Im from 🇬🇧 too. Dukes of hazard was a much watch for an 8y/o boy. Made me the petrolhead I am toady
@@etonbachs4226 I hear ya brother! Tom was my favorite Dr as well. He has his own web site now take a look www.tombakerofficial.com/
Could you find Chargers in the UK?
@@dragonflash09 Yes very expensive but to be fair the road are very narrow and the car is too big really for UK roads
John, growing up watching the Dukes of Hazzard was and will always be something special to me, the show and the values it portrayed were just as great as the car action that appealed to all kids from 79 and on through the 80’s.
In 2018 my father passed unexpectedly from an off roading accident, we held his memorial service at a friends house in Lebec, Ca at a friends house tucked up in between 2 fingers of the mountside, with an incredibly long driveway to the house. I was completely unaware that it was your old house, where you lived during the filming of the show! It was a surreal moment in time, honoring my father at Bo Dukes house!! Serendipitously unreal experience for me and now cherished memory, because it felt right in a sad time.
That’s amazing!
Doesn't get any more American than this! Bo Duke and his General Lee!!! My mom had to call me Bo for the whole first season that the Dukes were on TV when I was a kid. I worshipped the show, and it is very much a part of who I am today. Thanks John for keeping the dream alive brother!
Can you imagine driving down the street and seeing Bo Duke driving a General Lee?! John, you're awesome man! I love when someone you looked up to as a kid actually turns out to be the real deal.
Classick Genetics ya what he said !!!🇺🇸
Classick Genetics I’d flag him down to stop and take a picture. And I’d probably cry tears of joy.
No kidding
The other day I was watching Dukes with my living room window open and there's a police station right down the road from me. A cop drives by and sees what I am watching through the window and gave me a thumbs up. Awesome to know some people still have some class
That’s pretty telling of the police at your local precinct
@@jacksonbaldwin12 pretty telling that you're an intolerant individual
@@alecpitts6843 do what now
John, you were one of my heroes growing up watching you on the TV. Thanks.
My Auto Mechanics Teacher had a General Lee with a Certificate of Authenticity and it had the date it was used in an episode and I had the honor and the privilege to work on that car in my Auto Tech Class back in 2005-2006. Ill never forget that. We had to replace the plugs,wires,cap,rotor,points,condenser, oil change and brakes.
Most actor's run and try to hide from the show that made them famous but, this guy lives it and embraces it! Awesomeness 👌
Maybe he is broke and trying to make a couple bucks on RUclips lol
If he can make easy cash by making RUclips videos for fun in your driveway, why not? Video has been up 3 days and has 300K views.
stefan w He does. Thats how All actors should be. They were part of our childhood.
@@vortex6750 Facts.
Because this is all he has .
as a mexican guy... I have to say I´m so oblivious to that controversy of the Confederate flag, but on the other hand I always loved General Lee, it seemed like a beautiful car and I liked how the flag looked on his top, my father made an enormous effort to give us the toys of the Dukes of Hazzard which in those years were very expensive and difficult to obtain at least in my country
So glad John makes this kind of content for us fans. I remember getting excited anytime a reunion movie or tv special would come out just to get some more Dukes content!
hi everyone ... im a 53 year old man that grew up watching the Good old Boys... and im very proud to say . my 9 year old grandson is so much in love with the car The . General Lee .... im a por man I dont have much ... but I will seal my soul to find him a General Lee car ... a toy .. not the real thing . lol .... thanks for all the people that still to this day . carry on such a LEGEND
If Bo Duke says it's a General Lee, it's a General Lee.
Damn Straight
No doubt
That's what I was thinking. If Bo paints a VW Bug orange with a paint roller and scribbles General Lee on it then it's a General Lee.
WOW, that charger is in better condition than they ever were when they came off the production line.
It also cost $150,000 more too
What's up with that Fiero?
Just because there’s bondo on the quarter doesn’t mean the body line can’t be brought back. I do it every day.
Just because there’s bondo on the quarter doesn’t mean the body line can’t be brought back. I do it every day.
Great video John love the fact that you still have one. I grew up watching you guys.
When I was in Jr High, this guy owned a General that was well done. He knew that certain times of day when students would be out for PE or after school. He would fire up that car, make the tires smoke, and fly past the school. Of course, the Dixie horn would sound. I grew up watching TDOH (born in 1972) and am a muscle car fanatic. Oh yeah. Although I love the General, I wanted Daisy's Jeep. However, once I grew up, that Charger won my heart. Thank you, John for sharing your beautiful car and kitty. The Dukes of Hazzard was a show that never was racist and respected the law. You never saw any of the Dukes disrespect anyone, unlike today.
Thank you again, John.
Lisa from Texas
thanks John, wreck all my childhood memories. There was only one General Lee and he landed perfect every time.
James Uerkvitz Oops. Sorry about that! Santa says hi.
I was 12 when it came on. I remember thinking some of those landings did a ton of damage based on how it landed. My stepdad used to tell me no, it was fine. When I learned the truth ( I believed him for some dumb reason ) in kinda destroyed me. We didn't have any way to rewatch the shows as I don't think VCR's were made yet. ( we didn't get one til 1986 from what I remember ) Anyway, it is perfectly ok for you to believe what you want, just don't slow motion the landing scenes :)
@@JohnSchneiderStudios lol!
John, I think you once mentioned that 1 or 2 "Generals" were jumped more than once. Did any ever make it past 2 times?
Maybe just wishful thinking on my part, but I like to think there was one that kept coming back til finally it gave out.
Really enjoying your channel, Dropping hints to my wife for the Christmas Cars DVD. Guess we 'll see😁. Y all take care and keep it between the ditches.👍
No it didnt... Just them duke boys knew how to fix their rides and keep on goin'!
I'm black and I'd definitely would owe a General Lee with the confederate flag on the roof.
It's the goddamn General Lee!
It's the General Lee..... Right on.....that's what I'm talking about...
Dead Purple
Here's one for ya, I even got one up on John Schneider, earlier this year I got my picture taken sitting in the actual Sanford and Son pickup truck, and there's only one of them.
It's in the exact condition it was when the show was filmed, if anyone's interested it's at a place called Blueline Classics in North Royalton Ohio, you can check it out at Bluelineclassics.com, they even sell cool T-shirts that have the logo from the driver's door on the front of them, picked up 3 of them when I was there. Having grown up in the 70's and watching that show it was the thrill of a lifetime getting my picture taken sitting in it, most if the surviving stars of the show have signed the dash and visors in it, coincidentally I happened to go there the day after Nathaniel Taylor died, he's the guy who played Rollo and his signature was on the dash and one of the visors.
Good for you Mr purple..smart move
We need more people like u mr purple
@@dukecraig2402 that's really awesome. Great show, great truck. I have the mp3 song from that show and play it often. Born in Cleveland still have family there. It's really amazing the things hiding in plain sight.
😢10:42…. We still haven’t been to the moon and never will. So cool of a car, John. Thanks for the tour. As a dumb kid, I never noticed any of those details, but thought that was the coolest car ever! I still do, actually, and yours is a beauty!!!
July 20, 1969, the day the first person stepped on the moon
My best friend I were devout MOPAR fans. We watched this show religiously every Friday night at 9pm. We never missed a episode.
Just imagine the look on people's faces when John pulls up next to them at the stop light
I'd love to see him doing that in a video just to be seeing the looks he'd thru him in it each time he drove and stopped at a red light thru him in it. I think I'd be a fun video for him to be doing lol
A legend talking about the legend. God I love this channel.
Hey John! Take a piece of felt and put it under the magnetic mount antenna. This will stop the scratching of the paint. Love the General Lee! Miss seeing the Dukes of Hazzard on tv
The ACTUAL John Schneider??
I grew up watching your show! What a fun time it was to be a kid! And what a car!
John I get chills everytime I see the General Lee. My bucket list.. sit in and drive the General 😁🍺
Tib The better bucket list is to have John give you a ride in the General Lee. At least that’s on my bucket list of dreams
@@brenttaylordotus ofcourse, that is also on my to do list
You drink ginger-ale?
I got to in the driver's side and passenger.
Man I want that car!
The way I look at the changes, especially you're personal General Lee there John, is that most people that love to tinker and work on their cars are never satisfied, and continue thru the entire ownership of the car the change or modify it in some way. I do the same thing. The character of Bo (and Luke) clearly being big car guys in the south, would most definitely have been tinkering, modifying and upgrading stuff on the General Lee for as long as they own it. Seems like a natural progression that happens in real life.
Thank you for making my childhood more fantastic. Lots of my friends in Liverpool UK idolised you as much as I did.
I was a P.A. on Smallville and I remember you driving that pick up around a corner at speed in that small town we were filming at. My P.A buddy and me did the Dukes jingle out loud it was a very cool moment for us. I also remember you were a very good man, one morning in studio you got a little angry with me, and after you took the time to approach me and say sorry, and I will never forget what a class act you are, sir.
Awesome- "For you younger people, this is how you turn the high beams on and off..." ! LOVED IT!
Scott I actually didn’t know that and I’m a car enthusiast
My first car I got in high school (1985) had the floor high beam switch, 1974 Ford Torino.
ZepG my first vehicle was a ‘77 Chevy truck and it had the same switch.
I remember in the 1990's my wife and I were driving up to Brainerd Minnesota on Highway 94 and a General Lee passed us...it was so cool to see that...it brought me a huge smile.
you betcha yeah!!! home of Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue OX?
@@CalgaryRambler The real home and birthplace of Paul is the little town of Akeley Mn about 70 mile north northwest of Brainerd.
No better way to get to Fleet Farm than in the General!
I love your personal version of the good ol' boy General Lee! Bo's General Lee, Beautiful with your own custom "touches" and one of a kind Sir! I'm 38 years old and grew up watching DOH all the time and loved every episode and every rerun like the first time I watched them! The whole cast did an amazing job! Thank you for such an iconic pease of history!!
I was a Canadian kid, aged 6-12 for the show. This show is among my list of top memories from my childhood.
Bo and Luke Duke were my heroes and so was The General. This is the greatest car in television.... and big screen history.
The black car in "Happy Birthday General Lee" had the tan interior. I just went back and looked on DVD.
Now watch the whole movie because it's the right thing to do
I had to as well myself lol...yup always tan
correct but the insert was different it was not all tan.
@@tughillbillyhomestead not always tan...the original was a Saddle interior..then later seasons it got lighter
@@Michael-mo1lx you guys have my brain spinning , in one episode an interior shot of a tan interior car had a green steering column or something strange like that but I can't remember which one , there is an easter egg to find , along with the 68 tail lights that popped up here and there .... what about Uncle Jesse's pickup , now thats one that really had some changing around going on , sometimes it was a half ton , sometimes a 3/4 , sometimes a ton , notice that as you watch most never notice it as it's not the star of the show LOL
Thank you, Mr Shneider. I'm probably not the only person who would like to know how many GL's you have personally owned / built and how much of the build / maintenance is done by you, versus someone else?
More of your history, documenting your GL life, post DoH life would be really cool, if you could share it.
Thanks so much for keeping us entertained and informed!
I enjoy watching you John. I used to watch your program " The Dukes of Hazzard on TV when I was younger. It was fun. You and partner were great.
I am really glad you mentioned Smallville. I am only about 10 years younger than you, and while I could appreciate the Dukes, I was a father when you played Jonathon Kent. I could identify more with him than I ever could Bo, and you have NO IDEA how much you taught me about being a father, or inspired me. Thank you for that!
Your father should have inspired you, not a fictional character.
He has such fondness for a car he used 40 years ago, he’s like hasselhoff with KITT
Stfu
@@valhalla304 why you do have the need to comment that if you did it and then laughed to yourself grow the hell up and it can make people feel bad so stop saying mean nonsense for no reason
This is a good watch, just like the show. Love them Duke boys.
I built one from scratch, got everything right. Thank you for still loving the General and the Dukes even in this WOKE world we live in. I grew up on them and it makes me smile.
Wish I could meet John Schneider. He’s my favorite Duke and I absolutely love the 69 charger. I’m young but have grown up watching the show and still absolutely love it
When the video repeated itself I thought there was a glitch in the Matrix for a minute there.
I thought, What? LOL
Yeah, I was wondering what was going on.
When Fred the cat showed up a second time, I immediately stopped the video to find the "glitch in the Matrix" comment. You have done Zion proud.
@@audiobrew same here lmao
Yeah, the cat had me worried for a minute.
The General Lee is the car that ignited my love for fast, powerful cars. Every week, I was glued to the TV screen, waiting for the General's next burn-out or jump!
My best friend and I used to play "Dukes" all the time whether it was Hot-Wheels in the dirt, our on our bikes in the country.
If I had a nickel for every time I made the General's horn sound, I'd be wealthy. Such fond memories. I own the full series CD set and enjoy them to this day with my own kids.
Mr. Schneider, thank you to you and Mr. Wopat and the rest of the cast and crew for giving me (and others) the wonderful gift of The Dukes of Hazzard!
Just found this channel. Very interesting information. I was 10-11 years old when dukes came on tv. I was a pretty big fan of the show, but only watched the shows with the original actors. My name is Luke and I used to get teased by kids calling me Luke Duke. Lol What a simpler time it was back then! Thank you and the rest of the actors who did a wonderful job of setting good examples, and creating some entertaining content for everyone to watch! Thank you for sharing Sir! Blessings!!
Mr Schneider, Thank You for being such a great influence. I watched the show when was young, and then started hearing your music on the radio. Nowdays i see these. Thanks for all you have done!
I liked the special guest appearance by Fred the cat. 😂
It’s great that John has one. Don’t ever be without a General Lee. Love the fact that you represent Dukes still and keep it going just like we all do
Thanks for the video John.. I come from Scotland and your show was on here every Saturday in the 80’s .. I’d have been around 11 years old and never missed an episode.. loved yous guys and still do.
Your car is beautiful 🏴
I’m 19 but I love The Dukes, I ended up following Mr Schneider’s music and just love the songs. Playing it on piano and listening to it is a treat. I love this video and thank you for your songs!
You guys turned that Charger body style into an iconic machine for sure, due to the show!
I’m so glad to see you have one for yourself to enjoy!
If John Schneider builds a General Lee, it is done right. That's the moral of the video.
Uh...should be a 4 speed
s d no, he explained in an earlier video that none of the general lees had manual transmissions. The sound was an after effect. ruclips.net/video/NayLSPII8uI/видео.html (2:59)

The are dozens of cars built better and more accurately than this car, did you even watch the video?
Used to love the show. I remember getting the General Lee large scale model at around 10 years old or so. My dad helped me finish it. Had working suspension, detailed engine, etc. I loved cars since.
So accurate on all the rust collectors on these old cars esp the lower quarters and rockers.
I saw a show restoring old cars. The body/paint expert explained why old cars almost universally rusted along the bottom line. There was openings in the rear from the production process, and once water got in it had no way out. It would just lay in the channel and rust away. Among other improvements, modern manufacturing sprays a wax in there to help protect.
WOW! So very interesting! Best part I absolutely loved was that John gives people rides in his classic General Lee. Now... I want to go for a ride in that General Lee with John. 🤗
I still have my Buck 110 folding knife. I've had that knife for more than 30 years. I specifically wanted one because I saw the Duke boys wearing them. Thank you for so many good memories.
I live right down the road from where they're made!
every boy should own a pocket knife
it was true then it's still true now
That must be where my fascination with those come from. I don't even know how many I have. I search second hand stores for them and get them on ebay. They are timeless. And heavy!
The dukes of hazzard was and still is a favorite family loved and adored show with zero chance of being racist in any way, good luck Duke boys.
They drove a car named after the general of the confederate army emblazoned with the battle flag of the confederacy, a confederacy who’s primary motivation was keeping slavery.

TheHelado36 A Fierro really? Doesn’t take much.
Michael Haulotte I love those cars ! A Fiero had all the right looks, but GM definitively ruin it !
TheHelado36 my grandfather sold Pontiacs for 30 years. When the Fieros first came out they gave all the salesmen Fiero jackets. He never wore his much and I’ve still got it hanging in my closet.
Sorry, didn’t mean to offend.I guess my response was more of a cash/collectability . Mopars are just about untouchable from a cost standpoint. A Fierro on the other hand is still affordable. ✌️Merry Christmas.
Michael Haulotte I was 14 when the Fiero got out and still today is for me ( no matter the collectibility) one of the most beautiful cars ! Hope some day own one !
Gotta love the 01. This man is gold. He also had a mint condition Fiero!
Absolutely my favorite show growing up. Thanks for doing these videos, John!!!
I’ll never own one but I watch the show on a daily basis to get my fix. Thank you for sharing this beautiful example of what a car should be. They just don’t make em like they used too. God bless you and the entire cast.
I love that he’s still son passionate about it after all these years. It was his first big role and cemented him in the tv industry and he clearly is very grateful for it. He seems genuine like a lot of fun.
The General Lee is very nostalgic to me. I grew up with the General Lee, Kitt, and the fall guy Lee Majors K-2500. Loved them all. I grew up in south Ga. and had the privilege of meeting Sonny Shroyer when I was just a boy in the 80’s in Blackshear Ga. He was fishing and so were we. Also met Burt Reynolds near Waycross when Smokey the Bandit was being filmed, I would give anything to turn back time and relive those days all over again.
I love that truck from the Fall Guy.
I dusted off my dvd box set of the dukes in hopes that my two nephews would want to watch. There hooked! We watched season 1 together and they’ve taken the rest to watch at home.
I grow up in Italy watching Hazzard during the 80s. Nowadays I am watching the same show with my small child. It's incredible how children love General Lee and the crew of actors. It's simply great to teach my son what's one of the best series of my childhood. Greetings John!
Hi John just wanted to thank you for taking the time to make these vids,
DITTO, classy guy
The Mustie1!
Yeah thanks John, I was then and still am a fan🇺🇲
Love the Dukes of Hazzard! It as on Friday nights in New Zealand and my family gathered in the living room to watch it and laugh out loud. I bought all the DVDs. It was such a simpler family time back then - great memories!
Behind the back tire is where many mopars rusted out. My father's Plymouth Duster rusted out there horribly. Loved the show. It was my favorite as a young kid.
Can we just take a moment and appreciate this cool man and his awesomeness. He has his own Gen Lee, a cat named Fred, a Fiero and a couple other cool cars sitting there. What a guy.
I gotta agree with you. Out of all the actors in Hollywood, John seems to be the most humble and just good ol’ down to earth. Like a lot of us fans of the Dukes’, I would love to meet Bo Duke!!!!!
Growing up in the 70s myself, The General Lee was what gave me the love of cars. I think at the time the General Lee was the fastest car on Earth in the eyes of a young boy.
Then along came K.I.T.T.🤣🤣
@@BigBadjohn0x0 So true.🤣
Kitt isn't in the same league as the General Lee lol
yeah, that and Kit from knight rider
John Schneider sounds cool and still looks cool all these years. Not obese, dorky looking. He’s still got it...... and a goddamn General Lee! Good for him!
He's got manboobs though.. ruclips.net/video/NayLSPII8uI/видео.html
Thank u John for being a part of my childhood and again with Smallville.
John, great to see you have a General Lee, after all these years! The show obviously meant a lot to you, as it did for me, and my brother's growing up in England, sat around the telly on a Saturday evening, wishing we were living in Hazard! Well.... I got close, I met a girl from Louisiana and our 8 yr old son now watches the show with me. Yeee Haaaa!!!
I just bought the box set “for my kids” cough 5 and 7 year old , and those episodes still hold up today by any standard . Addressing environment , good from bad , helping others in need , runnin shine ! The important things in life !
I chuckled out loud. Cough. right. Good for you! I mean, them! ;-)
Best show of my childhood. God I loved it.
"that would be Fred the Cat"... Right on cue.
Love Fred the Cat!
@@ednowlin1125 who's Fred the cat
@@theweathernerd_2023 Go to the video at timestamps: 2:38 and 7:15
I have watched this a few times, I love that you have this car and are loose about the accuracy. It’s yours and I appreciate you did it your way, nice job 👍🏼
I grew up in the 80s and I have been in love with that car ever since
'The General Lee' is the most recognisable car in the television history.
What about the bat mobile
@@jacksonbaldwin12 yeah that is also a car known world wide. k.i.t.t. too with Hasselhoff being like God in Germany.
Along K.I.T.T and the Delorean.
nah its not
And Ecto 1, Cristine and the A-team van
"My General Lee, my choice"
@@mslzweder7991 lol that’s true I’m tired of hearing that bullshit
John Schneider and "Fred the Cat" are too funny! You guys are a trip!😎
Bo and Luke can do whatever they want to the general! Loved the show and the "General Lee" is a legendary car.
