1969 Dodge Charger: Dukes of Hazzard


No list of Hollywood cars would be complete with at least a nod to the 1969 Dodge Charger, aka the General Lee. The General Lee co-starred alongside the Duke boys as they played modern day Robin Hoods in Hazzard County, Georgia…although they usually ended just thwarting Boss Hoggs’ plan to take over their farm.

A quick little fun fact: Although the General Lee went airborne 150 time throughout the series and looked fine, it actually wasn’t. Warner Bros. reported going through two Dodge Chargers per episode, on average. At one point, they would send people in helicopters to scout local highways for Chargers.
