25 years of the 'Good old boys'

It's been 25 years to the day since the very first episode of The Dukes of Hazzard was screened on US TV. The prime-time television action/comedy show starred John Schneider and Tom Wopat as the mischievous Duke cousins, two "good old boys," who tangled with the crooked law enforcement officers of Hazzard County every week.

However, the real star of the show was their car, "The General Lee," a 1969 Dodge Charger with a bright orange paint job and a Confederate flag on its roof. The car was a suitable choice, as Dodge Chargers won 22 of the 54 major NASCAR races in 1969.
