Biography

The General Lee (sometimes referred to as simply "the General") is an orange 1969 Dodge Charger driven in the television series The Dukes of Hazzard by Bo and Luke Duke and, in season 5, cousins Coy and Vance. It is known for its signature horn, its police chases, stunts—especially its long jumps—and for having its doors welded shut, requiring the Dukes to climb in and out through the windows. The car appears in every episode but one ("Mary Kaye's Baby"). The car's namesake is Robert E. Lee, general of the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. It bears a Confederate battle flag on its roof. Its horn plays the first 12 notes of the song "Dixie". The idea for the General Lee was developed from the bootlegger Jerry Rushing's car, which was named for Lee's favorite horse, Traveller. Traveller was also the name of the car in Moonrunners, the 1975 movie precursor to The Dukes of Hazzard.
