I never understood people calling this show racist. 1st episode they had their arms around their black friend and were playing bumper cars in a junkyard
Almost every young American Male born between 1965-1980 (thinking about kids watching this show back then) wanted that car. That car was more iconic that any that came after it. Be it a Delorian from Back to the Future to KITT on Knight Rider. The General Lee was on its own level.
The whole time was good for iconic cars. The three you mentioned, the A-Team van, the Magnum Ferrari and the Miami Vice Ferrari......it was a good time for car people. But the Lee is the first one I remember as being almost it's own character.
My son absolutely loved this show when he was about 7 years old. He would sit in my lap or beside me. Eating popcorn and coke. That was family time for us on Friday night. Memories, you cannot take away. Them Dukes. Loved all those schemes by Boss Hog, and his side kick. Rosco P. Coltrane.
There are some good gems out here today. But even a zoomer (slang for a person born between the late 90's-mid 2000's) like me can't deny that the Duke Boys will always top the rest. Wish I was born during that time.
I never once in my life thought that the rebel flag was racist at all and I'm black. I love the dukes of hazards its a funny show about street racing and out laws nun racist about this show or that flag
Stone Crank From a Canadian fan's perspective I never thought it racist either. For me growing up, I just thought it was just a flag that was on the car.
Stone Crank and if you remember that they had a black actor on the show playing a sheriff of a neighboring town and he was black the sheriff's name was sheriff little
Im glad your not offended by the confederate flag the dukes of hazzard never was a racist show and thats why i dont get why they took it off the air. Its dumb that america thiks its racist, because when the were kids they all loved that show
@@tylerjohnson4635 believe me Tyler I used to watch this show when I was a little kid! As a kid I did not know anything about racism. All I know is I wanted Bo and Luke to let me ride in the General Lee and listen to the advice the Duke Boys, Uncle Jesse and Cooter and Daisy would give me. I know they would not steer me in the wrong direction. And I agree that I hate to hear why they took it off of reruns. And as for the flag, well it does not bother me. I mean I get what to stood for for both sides but it did not bother me. Hell when I was working for Dish Network I had a super nice white lady asked me of that flag offends me. I smiled and to her no and it's the pride of the South and I told her about how I watch this show and wanted to own a General Lee.
2 of the best there ,, we were just talking about smokey and the bandit we still have the canon ball run ,,, could do with investing in dukes of hazzard dvd box set
I'm black too and I watched this show since I was 8 years old and I still watch it now to this day and I got the DVD set and I tell you I'm a huge fan of the Dukes of Hazzard I love this show and you're right I don't really see why people make a big deal about the flag I mean some people think it's racist but it's a condolence flag
geewdanger no it simply was the battle flag for the Army of Northern Virginia. Designed in Fairfax Va. 1861 due to confused confederate soldiers rallying at the wrong flag At the Battle of first Manassas (or Bull Run depending on which side you support ). The Stars and Stripes (union) and Stars and Bars (Confederate national flag) were somewhat similar. Sadly it was used by the Klan as a rally flag and other racist groups.
I'm a Dine' (Navajo) I watched this show since was 5yrs old. And same time grew up with Hillbillies in Southwestern Colorado.... They always had that southern flag , which I didn't understand why peeps think of racist... When they see the flag. Me loved it cuz of Duke Boy's.... Thanks.

@Justin Blackface I personally am okay with diversity and multiculturalism in a private context. So long as that same culture recognizes their nation's culture first before their own. But you're right on authority and dictatorships. Authority should be performed by consent of the governed. Not by the threat of force. But most of them corporates in D.C. and state capitals across the country are becoming more thirsty for power. They are a government controlled by the elite. Not of the people.
All lifes matter no matter what enithisidy that is my input also i want to see this movie because I do not like modern earth i want to go to the 70' and 80' i was born early 2000

There was never a racist moment on that show. Everybody grew up to it ,it is beaten into your heart! This is a big country you can have Southern Pride without being prejudiced.
I'm 52 years old and this show has always been among my favorites. I bought all 7 seasons on DVD and my wife and I snuggle on our couch and watch it all of the time.

It is not our generation that finds it racist; it is those who believe a militant response to the lack of affirmative action in every situation is appropriate. Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. professed peace and equality, while Malcom X responded with militant action if priority was not given to "his" people. Priority of one over another based mainly on a characteristic which has nothing to do with the task at hand is called affirmative action. Affirmative action leads to quotas. Quotas lead to a sense of entitlement, and that sense of entitlement is killing America, on thing at a time.
People are just brainwashed to think every southern being is a racist. I'm from Alabama. I grew up playing catch, drinking kool-aid, get some sun and let the dog run around the yard snd had hotwheels like most every other kid my generation. I played alot of games towards the end of highschool. My parents never tried to brainwash me to think anything racist. We always lived in apartments and such. I loved basketball. I was jacked up on Space Jam, Tony Hawk and Lion King. Nobody liked me in school anyway. Went to Michigan in 2015, got alot of work and actually started getting cars like I've always wanted. I've walked passed an '80 Trans Am everyday to and from school. Car hasn't ran in decades (still doesn't) so I got one off Craigslist in 2016 and was my first older car experience. And the rest is history for that scene. My stepdad's honda blew up and so did the grand cherokee so my older car was the only one that worked. This is my 3rd vehicle by 2016 and I didn't even have a license yet, so my stepdad dad drove it and brought me to work with my car and he went to work. Some guy at his job was asking him if he could ride in it, but my stepdad said he couldn't because it's not his car, so the guy went around calling my stepdad a racist at his job.
Im black born in the south me and my white friends we enjoyed that show! Good memories we had together we looked out for each other and the show wasnt racist cause of the flag on car!
The show promoted family and how to look out for one another, how to help a fellow citizen in need. I learned more about family and life values from this show then I did from my own family growing up. Hopefully we get past whatever nonsense they're forcing on us this time, stay safe out there my friend and God bless
It was the battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia under General Robert E. Lee.The Confederate battle flag was never the official flag of the Confederacy. The civil war really had nothing to do with slavery anyway. Most of the black slaves in America, including the south were owned by blacks, ethnic Jews, Hispanics and "Natives". Whites had no reason to fight and die to free slaves that 98% of the population had nothing to do with. The war was more about preserving the union. The south did want to keep slavery though. But after the war we forced all of them, blacks and "natives" especially to free them. Black owners got insanely wealthy off enslaving their own people. But we don't talk about any of that. Wonder why.
@Kyle Rodriguez I agree, you're ignorant. Incapable of learning real history, believes the lies because it's easy. You're also a racist, a bigot, and given your name you're culturally appropriating my peoples language. I'm sorry you're so incapable of learning. Maybe some day you'll try. Until then, goodbye.
For anyone who says the show offended them because of the Rebel flag Here's a little piece of advice shut the hell up and turn the damn channel don't cancel a good show because of your own damn opinion
Love this show now, just as much as I did back then. This show is the reason I've owned 3 Chargers and plan on owning many more! Currently have the Go Mango color just like the General Lee! Just need the horn now!
the 69 charger wasn't as valuable as it is today because of the general lee and after the dukes of hazzard the popularity of the car went outta control,love the general!
ikr i watched it when it started n 1979 all the way till it ended thank goodness at least they made the dvd reruns i thabkgoodness i still have all 7 seasons on dvd
I don't miss the show one bit.. it gets played every week at my house especially on the weekends.. got the full set on DVD.. when they wear out I'll start on the other set of dvds.
As a gen X male from the class of 1977, the General Lee was one of my favorite TV show cars. However, KITT was the car that became my dream car. I told my young self that when I was old enough to drive my first car was going to be a Trans Am. Indeed, I kept that promise and bought a 1986 Firebird 5.0 in 2000. I've had several Firebirds and Trans Ams since then. Currently I'm driving a 2001 Trans Am. The General Lee is cool. KITT is badass. There really isn't any contest in my opinion. When given the choice between a virtually indestructible 1982 Trans Am that can drive itself, talk to you, and is loaded with an assortment of cool features including but not limited to Turbo Boost its easy to see why anyone would take KITT if given the choice between him and General Lee. No Disrespect to the General by the way.
notice the show clears out the flag and stated that it is a rebels flag and im black and im not offended I love the show, characters, chases and races also the general lee
The dukes of Hazzard the show was about making it anyway they know how. That didn't stop the Duke family from staying together loving and respecting one another and caring for others.
Used to love this show when I was a kid. Never saw this episode though. That was cool. I miss the Dukes of Hazard and the General Lee in all it's high jumping glory.
"50 years ago, owners manuals included instructions on how to adjust the valves. Today, they warns against drinking the contents of the battery." - Unknown
@@Ziggy_Moonglow I remember hearing that somewhere. I understand the removing of adjusting the values and other stuff like that because cars are more reliable, but the fact that people need to be told not to drink battery acid is worrying to say the least
Love this show. Spent a lot of time watching it as a family when I was a kid. I found the box set cheap at Walmart the other week, and have been enjoying the episodes. They put a smile on my face.
The first 5 episodes from season 1 where filmed in Covington Georgia and the surrounding areas. (also some places in Atlanta) From episode 6 to the last season the Dukes was filmed in Warner Brothers studio in Hollywood LA
For real right? I guess eveyone that displays the confederate flag must be in the same boat as those ignorant racist bigots. That go around and do horrible things to innocent people. I mean mental illness doent have anything to do with it? It hurts to see a part of my childhood in this show. Get attacked like this, if you know what I mean?
im mexican american and i don't feel that flag is racist, and i have no problem with white people feeling proud of that flag. everybody needs to be proud of the roots they come from so we can all come together as americans and make our country great. 🇺🇸
Uncle Jesse: What are you doing? Luke: Welding the doors shut. Jesse: What are ya doing that for? Luke: You weld the doors shut on racing cars for safety's sake. Jesse: How do you get in??? Bo: Climb through the windows. Jesse: (Puts his hands on his stomach) Count me out. 😂😂😂
logic vs convenience. lol, everyone got that uncle that ask that question that make you think about you doing something smart and dumb at the same time. Like why everyone wants to take selfies with a selfie stick when you could easily use a phone stand and use the timer to take a group shot.
Those were the days when television was television, my favorite friday night lineup on CBS, Incredible Hulk followed by Dukes of Hazzard and I only watched this to see Daisy Duke and then this was followed by of course Dallas.
The 68 was just a tad bit better. The wide open grill without the center divider and those dual round taillights that were inspired by rocket nozzles. The rest is the same.
Birth of a Legend. It's a great show, a classic show, a good-hearted show, a fun show. Sad to see the show under threat again in 2020 because people are upset because of what the Flag means to them that day- It may just be light entertainment but it's still Art & Art shouldn't be censored. it's the intention of the Artists that counts not the interpretation of an audience member or viewer.
The confederate flag is not racist, the only racists are white liberals stirring people up to keep everyone fighting with each other while they steal all the money. My home town high school mascot is a confederate soldier, it has never represented slavery. It was the battle flag for the civil war, those in office today are desperate for measures of race hatrid that they will attack everything
I grew up on this show. I saw the first episode when it aired. My big wheel was my General Lee and later when I graduated to a bicycle, I would yell "Yee haw" when I took it over jumps. I had Dukes of Hazard toys and t-shirts, watched the reruns, the reunion, and the movie with Johnny Knoxville, but not until today in 2020 did I know the significance of "01".
back then that flag was like a normal flag and everybody who own something either have rebel flag on it or a American flag that's what it was like back then. And this tv series shows us how to use it for good and not for bad. like I said before people kill people
The shape of that car still looks awesome to this day which is amazing for a car that came out in the late 60s. Many get BMW's and Mercs to turn head but this car would put them in the shade
Lot of those old muscle cars and sports cars had their distinctive styles. You could tell what was Mustang, a Firebird, a Nova, a Barracuda, but nowadays cars all look the same with hatchbacks. There is no more style or creativity in today's cars.
Jesse: what are you doin'? Luke: I'm welding the door shut Jesse: what are you doing that for? Luke: you weld the door on a racin' car for the driver's safety's sake Jesse: how do you get in? Bo: through the windows! Jesse: ... count me out Later on Jesse has been in and out of the General so many times lol
Hi Dukes Fans! Im a big Dukes of Hazzards fan myself...i was reading your comments & wanted to add...im 41 years old, ive been watching the Dukes of Hazzard since i was a kid...NOT ONCE did the message of that show promoted hate towards blacks...the show DID NOT promote racism towards other cultures...the Duke Boys got along with everyone & promoted kindness, friendship & all around fun for all people in society. This racism bull crap is sumone who wanted to start a typical argument because they are probably unemployed & wanted to feel important. They can take the show off the air, but i will continue to promote the goodness this show has towards people.
I'm blaack and I love this car since I was 10! didn't now was a racesit thing. The show never talked about it. as the actors says it's a good family show. the whole thing with the flag is in the past! lets focus on the future!
Google the meaning of the Confederate flag. it bothered me hearing it meant racism. turns out it's a battle flag representing freedom. do your homework chum
@@kylebuschhasover200winsinn5 that's not the Confederate flag douche bag that's the battlefield flag.. There was 2 flags in the South during the Civil War.. Confederate flag and the battlefield flag look totally different..
The Confederate Battle Flag was never the official flag of the Confederate State's of America. The first was named The Stars and Bars. The second was named The Stainless Banner. Last was the third National Flag named The Blood Stained Banner. The Battle Flag was used on the field to distinguish between the two forces. The Battle Flag is not racist! Learn your history and think for yourself instead of believing what you've been told.
@@kylebuschhasover200winsinn5 Learn your flags dumb ass, it's the Battle Flag on top of the car, regardless of what the writers had the actors say in the show - It's not the Rebel or Confederate Flag, it's the 'Battle Flag of the Army of Tennessee'.
Its a REBEL flag on a car of 2 good ole boys fighting the system never meaning harm. Never had anything to do with racism. I grew up around the rebel flag you might say, not really the flag itself but the symbol was on caps, tee shirts, license plates and whatever else it could be stuck on. Usually with some sort of Dixie logo, proud to be from the south, i remember one tee shirt said Southern by the grace of God. We all considered ourselves little daredevils mean and rebellious but never once do i remember any sort of hate toward anyone because of their race.
sometimes a general lee will pop up for 25-40k, i hope as the year goes by less and less people want a car they have to work on and tune up so the general gets a bit cheaper
Also as a black man and the fact that this show has been taken off the air because some racist idiot wanted to use the confederate flag as a symbol of hate is a shame. It's heritage, not hate plain and simple In fact Id love to own a General Lee if I had the money and means to restore one
I used to love this show as a kid! Daisy was at the Chicago World of Wheels show when I was ten or eleven. I have a photo of the two of us, and got a kiss on the cheek from her.❤
Thousands of black soldiers fought FOR the Confederacy. Thousands of black soldiers CARRIED that flag onto the battlefields. Thousands of black soldiers DIED defending that flag. Isn"t it disrespectful to them to NOT fly it ? I think so.
Rubens Junior The main reason for the civil war was NOT over slavery, and you are just as brainwashed on that topic as everyone else coming out of American public school system. From the start, Good old Ab Lincoln believed in preserving the slaves in south if it could preserve the union.The main reason was unfair taxes on shipments of goods to the UK after the war of 1812. After that war the United States placed heavy taxes on exports to that country in an effort to complete severe any ties with Great Britain. Since Cotton and Tobacco were major exports to UK, they became the south's only source of revenue. The British refused to purchase those goods at such a major price. Scared the business in the south would go broke, the southern states argued with the U.S. Government to reduce the tax on exports for which the Government refused. Fearing the States HAD NO RIGHTS to choose their own exports and to whom to export to, they threatened to seceded from the union. Its wasn't about slavery. It was about MONEY! MONEY MONEY MONEY drives everything. The slave issue was inter-woven into the whole mess.
I'm black and loved the Dukes. They weren't racist at all. Had a lot of black people on there. Saw the series box set at Walmart and buying it.

austinthecriket swartz it’s on IMDb tv for free with ads. Trade time to see for free.
Im black born in the south me and my white friends we enjoyed that show! Good memories we had together we looked out for each other and the show wasnt racist cause of the flag on car!
Yeah all it meant was showing the spirit of the south and having good times
The show promoted family and how to look out for one another, how to help a fellow citizen in need.
I learned more about family and life values from this show then I did from my own family growing up.
Hopefully we get past whatever nonsense they're forcing on us this time, stay safe out there my friend and God bless
It was the battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia under General Robert E. Lee.The Confederate battle flag was never the official flag of the Confederacy. The civil war really had nothing to do with slavery anyway. Most of the black slaves in America, including the south were owned by blacks, ethnic Jews, Hispanics and "Natives". Whites had no reason to fight and die to free slaves that 98% of the population had nothing to do with. The war was more about preserving the union. The south did want to keep slavery though. But after the war we forced all of them, blacks and "natives" especially to free them. Black owners got insanely wealthy off enslaving their own people. But we don't talk about any of that. Wonder why.
Right on!!
@Kyle Rodriguez I agree, you're ignorant. Incapable of learning real history, believes the lies because it's easy. You're also a racist, a bigot, and given your name you're culturally appropriating my peoples language. I'm sorry you're so incapable of learning. Maybe some day you'll try. Until then, goodbye.
From the UK, Dukes of hazzard was a great part of my Saturday evening childhood memories!
If that Car Offends You...Your Childhood Was Sad 😥.
It's doesn't offend me
You're exactly right bunch of sausage jockeys!!!
@@jonathancole2562 your comment had me rolling 😂😂🤣
It didn't offend me or my brothers. The show was mandatory viewing in my house when I was growing up. Even my two youngest nephews love it.
One of the greatest shows of the 20th century, the Dukes of Hazzard
For kids maybe. First season was great, more adult oriented. Later on they became cartoon characters, especially Roscoe who became a bumbling idiot.
For anyone who says the show offended them because of the Rebel flag Here's a little piece of advice shut the hell up and turn the damn channel don't cancel a good show because of your own damn opinion

I am 48 years old from the uk watched it all time when I was younger , loved it and had the Dixie air horns on my cars,
may the blessings your soul, good to hear someone with common sense
Love this show now, just as much as I did back then. This show is the reason I've owned 3 Chargers and plan on owning many more! Currently have the Go Mango color just like the General Lee! Just need the horn now!
@Brandon Bell Today it would be keyed, burned, and flipped over sadly....
The General Lee. One if my two favorite things to see from this show.
The other is uncle Jesse
Freaking awesome. Chills, literally chills catching this little clip. Long live The General.

@barry herpes yeah
I remember this was on TV Fridays at 7pm, before the age of VCRs. It was as important as church to be on time.
Tell the truth - or was not as important, it was more important;)))
I missed many episodes because we left to go to church.
God, how i miss this show!
same man
ikr i watched it when it started n 1979 all the way till it ended thank goodness at least they made the dvd reruns i thabkgoodness i still have all 7 seasons on dvd
I don't miss the show one bit.. it gets played every week at my house especially on the weekends.. got the full set on DVD.. when they wear out I'll start on the other set of dvds.

I’m ten and I never lived in the 1970 - 1980s but I just think this show is golden
Enjoy it! I lived for the Dukes when I was ten! Best show ever to grow up on!
The Dukes Of Hazzard came out when I was 4. It is my favorite TV show of all time!
As a gen X male from the class of 1977, the General Lee was one of my favorite TV show cars. However, KITT was the car that became my dream car. I told my young self that when I was old enough to drive my first car was going to be a Trans Am. Indeed, I kept that promise and bought a 1986 Firebird 5.0 in 2000. I've had several Firebirds and Trans Ams since then. Currently I'm driving a 2001 Trans Am. The General Lee is cool. KITT is badass. There really isn't any contest in my opinion. When given the choice between a virtually indestructible 1982 Trans Am that can drive itself, talk to you, and is loaded with an assortment of cool features including but not limited to Turbo Boost its easy to see why anyone would take KITT if given the choice between him and General Lee. No Disrespect to the General by the way.
Daisy duke enters room: halleluila
notice the show clears out the flag and stated that it is a rebels flag and im black and im not offended I love the show, characters, chases and races also the general lee
Lorenzo Francis that's a battle flag not rebel the rebel flag is star wars this ain't
Lorenzo Francis Wait. What do you mean? Are they digitally removing the flag?
What are you talking about? The flag is clearly visible on the roof.
what he means is Star Wars.. the rebels.. he was making a joke..
the only thing offensive is White Liberals telling people how to think-- if your American, your a bit of a Rebel anyway-- take care
The dukes of Hazzard the show was about making it anyway they know how.
That didn't stop the Duke family from staying together loving and respecting one another and caring for others.
I remember this! The episode was titled Happy Birthday General Lee. In the flashback we see Rosco with a mustache and a much thinner Boss Hogg.
PLEASE PLEASE put this great show on TV again PLEASE.
Sound like a little sissy
Used to love this show when I was a kid. Never saw this episode though. That was cool. I miss the Dukes of Hazard and the General Lee in all it's high jumping glory.
So I find it offensive to show the car without the flag on it...So there. I want to see the damn thing how it's sposed to be xD
YEEEEE Hawww
jk
It's always about context. The General Lee was never a racist symbol on the show.
i loved this show

Talking about tapping, and timing in an engine..., on a tv sitcom?!, Yep, those were the days!
"50 years ago, owners manuals included instructions on how to adjust the valves. Today, they warns against drinking the contents of the battery." - Unknown
Nowadays shows talk about cleaning a carburetor on a fuel injected vehicle.

Love this show. Spent a lot of time watching it as a family when I was a kid. I found the box set cheap at Walmart the other week, and have been enjoying the episodes. They put a smile on my face.
I grew up watching this show since I was 6 years old and I still like it.
The first 5 episodes from season 1 where filmed in Covington Georgia and the surrounding areas. (also some places in Atlanta) From episode 6 to the last season the Dukes was filmed in Warner Brothers studio in Hollywood LA
I'm black and I wear a confederate flag belt buckle from time to time. I must be racist?
For real right? I guess eveyone that displays the confederate flag must be in the same boat as those ignorant racist bigots. That go around and do horrible things to innocent people. I mean mental illness doent have anything to do with it? It hurts to see a part of my childhood in this show. Get attacked like this, if you know what I mean?
NOPE. JUST NORMAL MY FRIEND.
Have the pair of you finished butting your heads together yet. Your nation has got more important things to worry about.
dang i been trying to get a belt with buckle like that
Your a dumbass. Thats like a jew wearing a nazi symbol
This is how legends are made
im mexican american and i don't feel that flag is racist, and i have no problem with white people feeling proud of that flag. everybody needs to be proud of the roots they come from so we can all come together as americans and make our country great. 🇺🇸

The Dukes taught me more about being a good contributor to society than BLM ever will.

Fun fact the doors for the first car were welded shut lol I learned that from John’s (bo dukes actor) channel
logic vs convenience. lol, everyone got that uncle that ask that question that make you think about you doing something smart and dumb at the same time. Like why everyone wants to take selfies with a selfie stick when you could easily use a phone stand and use the timer to take a group shot.

And thus a legend was born
And God bless the souls of those 300 and something Chargers who had to die for that legend.
Those were the days when television was television, my favorite friday night lineup on CBS, Incredible Hulk followed by Dukes of Hazzard and I only watched this to see Daisy Duke and then this was followed by of course Dallas.
Hands down one of the best designs to ever come outta Detroit
Let's not forget about the true gem of Detroit. The AMC Pacer.
The 68 was just a tad bit better. The wide open grill without the center divider and those dual round taillights that were inspired by rocket nozzles. The rest is the same.

I'll tell you one thing I miss the old classic Dukes of Hazzard I wish they bring it back
Love the sound of the general at red line 👍
I loved watching this show with my nan as a child, still watch it today. I always wanted a car like this.
A true Hollywood legend, the General Lee. 👍
and on that day, another four-wheeled legend was brought into the world
Birth of a Legend. It's a great show, a classic show, a good-hearted show, a fun show. Sad to see the show under threat again in 2020 because people are upset because of what the Flag means to them that day- It may just be light entertainment but it's still Art & Art shouldn't be censored. it's the intention of the Artists that counts not the interpretation of an audience member or viewer.
The confederate flag is not racist, the only racists are white liberals stirring people up to keep everyone fighting with each other while they steal all the money.
My home town high school mascot is a confederate soldier, it has never represented slavery.
It was the battle flag for the civil war, those in office today are desperate for measures of race hatrid that they will attack everything
What a gorgeous car !
I grew up on this show. I saw the first episode when it aired. My big wheel was my General Lee and later when I graduated to a bicycle, I would yell
"Yee haw" when I took it over jumps. I had Dukes of Hazard toys and t-shirts, watched the reruns, the reunion, and the movie with Johnny Knoxville, but not until today in 2020 did I know the significance of "01".
Memories...... Life was simple everyone figured things out and got along in our country
Long Live General Lee!!!!

John Snider has the original
@@brandonbell6171 I know I've seen him on RUclips showing things about it
The shape of that car still looks awesome to this day which is amazing for a car that came out in the late 60s. Many get BMW's and Mercs to turn head but this car would put them in the shade
Lot of those old muscle cars and sports cars had their distinctive styles. You could tell what was Mustang, a Firebird, a Nova, a Barracuda, but nowadays cars all look the same with hatchbacks. There is no more style or creativity in today's cars.
Thank you for this wonderful historic Gem

Hey, if Jimmy Spencer could squeeze through the window opening of a race car, anyone can.

There were a couple of times Bo or Luke would help Uncle Jessie in and out of the General... good nephews they were!
I miss this show so much. Use to watch it everyday after school
Hi Dukes Fans!
Im a big Dukes of Hazzards fan myself...i was reading your comments & wanted to add...im 41 years old, ive been watching the Dukes of Hazzard since i was a kid...NOT ONCE did the message of that show promoted hate towards blacks...the show DID NOT promote racism towards other cultures...the Duke Boys got along with everyone & promoted kindness, friendship & all around fun for all people in society. This racism bull crap is sumone who wanted to start a typical argument because they are probably unemployed & wanted to feel important. They can take the show off the air, but i will continue to promote the goodness this show has towards people.
im a big fan of the show and allways will be
And a legend is born.
Best TV show ever!!!
Don't recall seeing this. Probably haven't unless I was a kid cuz I'd remember this! Thanks for sharing!

General lee's charger never gets old still 2021
This Was A Badass Show Got Me Into Loving Muscle Cars And Racing
I'm blaack and I love this car since I was 10! didn't now was a racesit thing. The show never talked about it. as the actors says it's a good family show. the whole thing with the flag is in the past! lets focus on the future!
Google the meaning of the Confederate flag. it bothered me hearing it meant racism. turns out it's a battle flag representing freedom. do your homework chum
Ernie Desjardins hey douche bag, random note, the confederate flag is a racist flag
@@kylebuschhasover200winsinn5 that's not the Confederate flag douche bag that's the battlefield flag.. There was 2 flags in the South during the Civil War.. Confederate flag and the battlefield flag look totally different..
Right on
The Confederate Battle Flag was never the official flag of the Confederate State's of America. The first was named The Stars and Bars. The second was named The Stainless Banner. Last was the third National Flag named The Blood Stained Banner. The Battle Flag was used on the field to distinguish between the two forces. The Battle Flag is not racist! Learn your history and think for yourself instead of believing what you've been told.
@@kylebuschhasover200winsinn5 Learn your flags dumb ass, it's the Battle Flag on top of the car, regardless of what the writers had the actors say in the show - It's not the Rebel or Confederate Flag, it's the 'Battle Flag of the Army of Tennessee'.
damn i miss this show on cmt my dad has the whole set of dvds glad i can still watch these good ol boys
Its a REBEL flag on a car of 2 good ole boys fighting the system never meaning harm. Never had anything to do with racism. I grew up around the rebel flag you might say, not really the flag itself but the symbol was on caps, tee shirts, license plates and whatever else it could be stuck on. Usually with some sort of Dixie logo, proud to be from the south, i remember one tee shirt said Southern by the grace of God. We all considered ourselves little daredevils mean and rebellious but never once do i remember any sort of hate toward anyone because of their race.
"Piece of junk" that charger in that shape is worth at least $40k nowadays
sometimes a general lee will pop up for 25-40k, i hope as the year goes by less and less people want a car they have to work on and tune up so the general gets a bit cheaper
It was 1978, and the car was a 1969 model. The car was 10 years old, and it had front end damage. It would be like buying a 2011 Challenger in 2020.
Also as a black man and the fact that this show has been taken off the air because some racist idiot wanted to use the confederate flag as a symbol of hate is a shame. It's heritage, not hate plain and simple
In fact Id love to own a General Lee if I had the money and means to restore one
this car and this tv show is my favor tv show and my favor movie car of my childhood

I'm a huge fan of the dukes of Hazzard and general Lee
The general lee is the number one car that everybody love
FALSE.
Thousands of black soldiers fought FOR the Confederacy. Thousands of black soldiers CARRIED that flag onto the battlefields. Thousands of black soldiers DIED defending that flag. Isn"t it disrespectful to them to NOT fly it ? I think so.
There are no records of black soldiers fighting for the Confederacy as combat troops. Lots of the served as aids and laborers to be sure.
John J. Baranski fake news school is indoctrination reading books is real history
I have read extensively on the war for over 20 years. Books. Letters. Journals. Confederate first hand accounts. Slave and soldier's writings.
Rubens Junior The main reason for the civil war was NOT over slavery, and you are just as brainwashed on that topic as everyone else coming out of American public school system. From the start, Good old Ab Lincoln believed in preserving the slaves in south if it could preserve the union.The main reason was unfair taxes on shipments of goods to the UK after the war of 1812. After that war the United States placed heavy taxes on exports to that country in an effort to complete severe any ties with Great Britain. Since Cotton and Tobacco were major exports to UK, they became the south's only source of revenue. The British refused to purchase those goods at such a major price. Scared the business in the south would go broke, the southern states argued with the U.S. Government to reduce the tax on exports for which the Government refused. Fearing the States HAD NO RIGHTS to choose their own exports and to whom to export to, they threatened to seceded from the union. Its wasn't about slavery. It was about MONEY! MONEY MONEY MONEY drives everything. The slave issue was inter-woven into the whole mess.
ILSRWY4 Read Texas, Missipssi, Louisiana, South Carolina, and Georgia's succession documents. They all list slavery as a reason for being traitors.
The general Lee never loses its appeal a legend of a car
