Bourjaily: General Lee at the Hardware Store

By Philip Bourjaily

This has nothing to do with guns, hunting or shooting – except that Bo and Luke Duke occasionally mentioned going hunting -- but I’m putting it up anyway. I made a trip to our local Menards – a midwestern home repair chain – when I spotted this car in the parking lot and took a picture.


If you paint a Chevy Cavalier to look like the General Lee* from the Dukes of Hazzard, forget “You might be a redneck if . . .” because there is no “might be” about it. You are a redneck. Period.

Plus you get bonus Redneck Points for:
Painting the antenna orange to match the rest of the car.
Leaving the gas cap cover a contrasting primer gray.
Using a bungee cord for a trunk latch.

*Dukes of Hazzard fun fact: there were somewhere between 250 and 320 1968 and 1969 Dodge Chargers that appeared as the Duke boys’ car. The stunt jumps on the show were violent enough to cause structural damage, requiring a constant supply of new General Lees. There are about 17 left – not counting the car in this picture.

Yes Phil it was a crying shame to bust up all those Chargers. What a waste...

Obviously the 'necks in question had far too much time on their hands. I am absolutely ashamed of seeing the Stars and Bars painted on such a travesty. No self respecting Southern boy would commit such a crime. It must have been done by a Yankee...!

Bee: From what I remember everyone I knew did a pretty good job of busting up GTO's, 442's, SS-396's, RT's, GT's, and most everything else in the way of muscle cars on the drag strips and highways of the south when the vechiles were new. We just thought they were fast cars, assumed they would be made forever along with high test gasoline, and had never heard of Barrett-Jackson. I sure wish I still had some of my old rides today.

Did anybody notice the way that the plating on the obviously artisan crafted alloy wheels oversprayed on the sidewalls? Nice touch. That titanium fuel filler door is also very much a Chip Foose item. My guess is that the bungee/decklid stabilizer is probably the more exotic natural latex rubber instead of that more common synthetic crap. Just my opinion, I could be wrong.

And how about the "chrome" on those beauty rims overlapping the tires. But I'd stop laughing and start crying if Daisy Dukes got into the passenger seat.

My first 3 cars were Dodge Chargers - 2 were 69's. I practically cried everytime I saw one doing something on that show that it wasn't meant to do.

I'd laugh just as much if someone painted up a modern so-called "Charger" to look like the General Lee. It would look like an AMC Marlin with a wannabe complex.

By the way - Michigan's Woodward Dream Cruise starts next week. Saw a couple of cherry Chargers on the way home tonight. I still miss mine.

Unfortunately it only had a 250 6cyl in it, but it could still smoke 60 series tires. (remember those pre-metric, non-radial tires?)

Actually I wish i did know, I would go by and put a couple of pins through his TV & Telephone cable or better yet hook my truck battery all 1000 amps to it!

We don't have Menard's stores around here only Home Depot and Lowe's. Always wondered how they could sponsor their kid in Nascar races.

Guess I won't be bending over to see what's on the bottom shelf at Home Depot anymore!

Ya might just get it in the end, in more ways than one!
