The General Lee car in "The Dukes of Hazzard" was a bright orange 1969 Dodge Charger. It was a distinctive muscle car known for its signature police chases, stunts, and long jumps in the television series. The car featured a Confederate battle flag on its roof, the number "01" on its doors, and a horn that played the first notes of the song "Dixie." Multiple versions of the car were used throughout the show's run, mostly 1969 Chargers but sometimes some 1968 models were swapped in. The engines varied, including 318, 383, and 440-cubic-inch V8 engines, with most stunt cars favoring the more powerful 383 and 440 engines. The General Lee became an iconic symbol of the show and American muscle car culture.
