    Hey Junkman, I had a lot of Dukes of hazzard stuff as a kid. I always went with my parents to thrift stores and garage sales. I had the mego figures, the 3 3/4 figures, a general Lee that the figures could sit in (or it was at least the same size, I can't remember.), a couple different die cast general Lee's. But, my favorite was the dukes of hazzard speed jumper action stunt set. It had the general Lee, ramps, and crates to break through. It was hours of fun and I remember playing with that one a lot. I only saw so many episodes of the show. I do remember the theme song and thought about it recently with the controversy with John Schneider 😂. I also remember the Dixie song the horn played. I always thought the character names were funny, especially cooter (when I was old enough to get the multiple meanings). I would like to see a cooter in daisy dukes, just not that cooler 🤣😂🤣 I'm so bad 😉. I still have some of the toys and to quote star wars, they're for sale if you want them. Not sure what inspired me to write a book. Anyway, keep up the fun videos. Oh, I nearly forgot, if uncle jessie was John Stamos, why does uncle jessie on UA-cam look like uncle joey? Anyway, who cares really? A random t thought I guess.

    @That Junkman I couldn't really make out if "The Rebel" was a (Jeep or a Ford Bronco)? But what's interesting is the origin of {The General Lee from the The Dukes of Hazzard}.
    It can all be traced back to early 1970s. When doing research for an upcoming movie project producer, screenwriter and director "Gy Waldron" obtained an oral history from the former bootlegger/moonrunner turned stock car racer..Turned Hollywood stuntman "Jerry Elijah Rushing". Waldron utilized his interview with the late Jerry Rushing, along with his own experiences growing up in Kentucky. As material for the 1975 cult classic ''Moonrunners''. Which would go on to be reworked as the basis for the TV series The Dukes of Hazzard (1979-1985). Although Rushing was not credited for any biographical details. His claims were in fact recreated in both works. And Rushing would later go on to sue Waldron for royalties. Eventually receiving an undisclosed settlement. Rushing claims that at least thirteen characters from both the 1975 movie (Moonrunners' and the TV series The Dukes of Hazzard) or were modeled on himself and people he knew, including the following.
    He was the inspiration for Bo Duke.
    His brother Larry Rushing was the inspiration for Luke Duke.
    His Uncle Worley was the inspiration for Uncle Jesse.
    His modified (1958 Chrysler 300D) which Jerry and Larry Rushing nicknamed Traveller, was the inspiration for the General Lee. A car named Traveler is seen in the film "Moonrunners". And the name for the (General Lee in pre-production of The Dukes of Hazzard was also Traveler).😉You see "Traveller" was the name of Robert E. Lee's favorite Horse.🐎

Also, the KKK have always carried the US flag, should we ban that too? Never met a single person here in deep east Texas in all my 46 years that thinks *slavery* is anything other than abhorrent.

    This sounds political at points but at the end of the comment it perfectly shows why the flag had powerful meaning to that car and that show to most southern states. - Technically the Confederate Flag had nothing to do with slavery at all, but liberal bias loves rewriting history and keeping Americans dumb. The Confederate Flag was the synbol of the Southern States not being allowed to get their voices heard in Congress where the North dominated policies and votes on them. Just because the last issue to be brought up was slavery before Civil War began does not mean it was to main reason for Civil War. They rewrote history because they do not want states to unite together anymore when most states suppress their ability to speak out. They do not want states to want to leave the Union of the United States. Also, Texas is the only US State that never officially signed the Union pact to join thew United States, hence why it's called the Lone Star State. It's the only state that is fully capable of breaking away from the United States and be it's own independent country. It's the only state with it's own source of energy, dominent commerce, and it's own small army of defence. Some southern states still have real educational systems that teach real, non liberal-rewritten, history. So much like states like Delaware and Maryland, The Confederate Flag is a symbol that ALL voices have the Right to be heard, no matter how much democrats like to take away Freedoms. The Dukes Of Hazzard always fought for the freedoms and rights of the lower class men and women. That's why that symbol was important in their small southern county.
