The General Lee was a 1969 Dodge Charger, known for its bright orange color and distinctive features including the "01" on the doors, a Confederate flag painted on the roof, and doors that were welded shut. The car was powered by various Chrysler V8 engines, most notably a 375 horsepower 440ci V8 engine in many scenes. The General Lee was famous for its stunts, police chases, and its horn playing the first 12 notes of the song "Dixie." It became an iconic symbol from the television series The Dukes of Hazzard, driven by the Duke boys. Multiple Dodge Chargers were used during the show's production due to the demanding stunts.
