The General Lee was a ratings success right from the first episode of The Dukes of Hazzard in January 1979. The souped-up 1969 Dodge Charger, frequently gets to play the
role of the hero, showing off its speed in wild car chases with the bumbling sheriff, Rosco P. Coltrane (James Best). Capable of jumping over rivers and smashing through roadblocks, the durable General Lee never appeared to suffer any damage from Bo's ferocious driving. In reality, however, the show went through approximately 300 cars from various model years with only about 20 left in drivable condition.
