History

The Dukes of Hazzard originally ran from 1979 to 1985.  The series followed Bo and Luke Duke, two cousins living in Hazzard County, Georgia, racing around in their modified 1969 Dodge Charger – the General Lee.  Bo and Luke would often be pursued by corrupt county commissioner Boss Hogg and inept county sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane.

Some of the most memorable features of the series were the hair-raising car chases, leaps and crashes that the General Lee car was put through.  If there was something in Hazzard that looked like it could be jumped, Bo would jump it hardly without a second thought!
