The Dukes of Hazzard Movie

Starring
Jessica Simpson, Johnny Knoxville, Seann William Scott, Burt Reynolds, Willie Nelson

Jessica Simpson will appear in her first major movie role as Daisy Duke. Based on the TV series, this action adventure follows the rough-driving Dukes as they try to save the family farm from the corrupt commissioner, Boss Hogg, played by Burt Reynolds. Opening in August, 2005.

Boss Hogg's Cadillac
This is a 1970 Cadillac DeVille Convertible, completely white inside & out, with bull horns for a hood ornament


The General Lee
This 1969 Dodge Charger was the real star of the show. Of course, it would be difficult NOT to draw any attention in a car painted bright orange, with "01" on the side and a Confederate flag on the roof.
According to the storyline, Bo & Luke found it in the Chickasaw County junkyard. It had been used in a bank robbery, and the Duke boys - with a little help from Cooter - fixed it up and welded the doors shut like on a NASCAR race car. Fitted with a big-block 440 Magnum V8, the car could outrun anything in Hazzard County.

Oh.. And lets not forget the......

yea thats the Extreem Lee, Most of the Generals used for the show were 318 or 383 cars they used 68 and 69 chargers. There were over 250 of thiem used in the corse of the show. One of the Orginal Generals was used in the movie call GLADIATOR ( not the Russel Crow Movie) and has recently been saved from the crusher and being restored to its orrginal glory.
