When was the General Lee Black.

[mdc-chris-anthony]

I know at one time the General Lee was black. What episode was that. I have got the season one disc set but no black General Lee on it. Someone let me know whren it was black. :-? :-? :-?

[MaryAnne]

The General was black in the episode "Happy Birthday General Lee" during the flashback portion of the episode. The episode ran in the 7th season.

[R.J.1984]

Good grief - the show lasted longer then Knight Rider or the A-Team for crying out loud. Why oh why do they always have to cancel the best shows to ever come out on t.v? All the best shows from the 1980's were pretty much some of the best shows to ever grace the t.v. At least they are bringing them out on Dvd now. Can't wait to get them all - or at least the ones from the shows that I liked.

the general lee was pianted green in one of the shows too i think

[DaneyDuke]

Yeah, that was Southern Cumforts, season 2 finale... the fastest paint job not done by a professional in on a tv show.

Hey a black GENERAL! That sound's *****in'! I have already thought about this. A satin/primer black one would be just right for me! I love black cars! And orange of course! :wink: Is there a picture of this one somewhere?

[DaneyDuke]

It was also black in episode 95: A Little Game Of Pool, when Boss and Rosco get temporary custody of the General.

Johnny,

If no one else finds a picture, I'll vidcap one sometime this next week.

If any of you have ever played "Dukes of Hazzard Return of the GENERAL LEE" You will see that the General in the game is black at first. The Dukes were remanising (SP) on when they first got the General. They went to the scrapyard to get the upgrade parts, then they had to beat Cooter to his gerage in a race. He said "If you boy can beat me to my gerage, Ah will build you your dream car...". Don't know too sure if that is how it went in the seiries, but that was how the game put it.

The first time I was reminded of the black General Lee was when I went to Cooter's Place in Gatlinburg, TN (Dukes Museum) and I saw a 1:18 scale American Muscle model of it. I saw a gold General model, too, with the racing digits, the flag, everything on it. Anyone know the significance of that?

[01 GENERAL LEE 01]

Just bein' purty I imagine.

A black Charger is *****in'. Hell, just watch all 3 Blade movies.

[Brian Coltrane]

There was a black Charger in "The Fast and the Furious" movie, which didn't appear until towards the end...only to be smashed pretty bad. (Broke my heart to see it, too.)

Another fine black Charger is in the old movie "Bullit". The movie itself isn't that hot, but it's worth renting for the chase scene. I tend to fast forward to the chase and skip the rest of the flick. If I recall correctly, the Charger ends up being incinerated by crashing into some gas pumps.

And there was also a black Charger in the original "Cannonball" movie. (which had no affiliation with the later "Cannonball Run." ) This Charger also suffers ill fortune, by careening over the edge of an incomplete freeway.

Ya know, upon reflection....it's a damn good thing the Dukes painted the General orange, given the track record for black Chargers.

I'm noticing a trend here.

Yeah, I boycotted Fast and Furious when I saw that scene in the trailer. Shoulda smashed up the other junk.

[MaryAnne]

Yeah, but seein' the rice burner get blow torched by the Asian dudes on their motorcycles.....that was a nice scene. BAHAHAHAHA!!!

[Chet Duke]

Not sure if this interests any one, but Im currently building a model of a 1970 Dodge Charger. The Black Dodge Charger (Known as "The Beast" to my friends an I.) in the The Fast and The Furious was a 1970 Dodge Charger, it wasnt a 1969 like General Lee was. I bought the 1970 model specifically to build a car that is to scale to my creation, the General Lee's Ghost.

It is very unfortunet that all these beautiful Chargers were destroyed in these movies. There was also a black Dodge Charger in the first and the second movie of "Blade." I thought it would just be nice to share that Im building a Charger from the Black Charger model from the fast and the furious. If that makes any sence lol.

Oh an by the way, no worries, General Lee's Ghost is white, not black.

Hmmm...if black Chargers cause them to wreck, but the General survived because it was orange...maybe Rosco, Enos, and Cletus should get the police car from "The Blues Brothers!" That car lasted the whole movie without a scratch! Although it did in a winnebego. :lol:

[Julieduke]

I know somebody that didn't like the when black charger in The Fast and the Furious got rolled in the movie.

ROFL! Yes, but remember what happened to the car once they made it to the Cook County Assessor's office. Reminded me of what's happened to Rosco and Enos' patrol cars sometimes. :D

[Jamanda]

Yeah, but at least it lasted a while. It's been a while since we've seen it. What did happen to the car?

[MaryAnne]

Once they got there, and got out of the car, they were no more than two feet away from it when the whole things just fell apart. Fenders fell off, the trunk pops open, the engine goes up in a puff of smoke, the works. Elwood pauses and takes his hat off to it. And then Jake grabs him and is like "C'mon!!!" ROFL

[Jamanda]

Okay, we remember that now! LOL, we'll have to watch that again. I'll bet the General did that after the last episode of Dukes!
