New Duke in Hazzard
Hobie Hartkins and one other reacted to RogerDuke for a topic
That's how I see it too. For me this is year number 40 of living in Hazzard County and I've loved every moment of it.2 points -
Buildings of Hazzard
Hobie Hartkins reacted to HossC for a topic
Regular visitors may have noticed that I haven't posted much artwork here lately. Hopefully this should explain why. The artwork below started out as a re-creation of the Hazzard Theater sign for the Signs of Hazzard thread, but grew into a monster project encompassing a whole block of Hazzard Square. After completing the theater sign I added some background and got carried away. I've tried to be as accurate as possible, with some details only clearly visble in a single episode. I also had to allow for the fact that some of the details change constantly, so what you see here may not exist together exactly like this in any single episode. I originally wanted to put more detail into varying the brickwork, but 'Seth M Berley's', for example, has somewhere in the region of 5000 bricks, so I settled for uniformity instead. For clarity (and to make my life easier) I have not attempted any interiors. I know that some episodes show gold lettering on the upper windows of some buildings, but I couldn't get any screengrabs where this text was readable. I can add them if anyone knows what they say. Here they are at a larger size: I do plan to do more of these, but may do something else in-between just for variety.1 point -
This may have been posted before, but as I was looking at the page that shows all the cars used by characters in the show, I noticed there was some inaccuracies when it came to Daisy's cars. True, she started out the show with a yellow 1973/74 Plymouth Road Runner...but the story goes, when parts became too difficult to find to repair the few they had on the show, they switched to a 1971 Plymouth Satellite Sebring...painted with the Road Runner paint scheme. So, the '71 she used was actually a Satellite, and not a Road Runner. Just FYI. What I don't understand though, is in 1979 a '74 vehicle would have only been 5 years old...you're telling me that barely five years later Chrysler wouldn't have replacement parts for one of their vehicles? Just seems a little strange to me. But, maybe the parts were actually too expensive to continually order...and parts for the Satellite were cheaper for a while. Just a thought.1 point

New Duke in Hazzard
Hobie Hartkins reacted to James L. Duke for a topic
Shoot. Been a Dukes fan since 1985, favorite characters are Bo, Daisy,Rosco, Enos,Boss Hogg,Cooter. I've been very lucky to have met Bo,Luke, Enos, Cletus, Cooter and Rosco. I attended Dukesfest 07 and Smokey Mountain fanfest in 09. Got to jump into and ride in a General Lee and " get arrested and put into the back of a Hazzard Patrol car. I have many Dukes collectables. I was also lucky to have met Sheriff Big Ed Little and get his autograph. Also met Waylons waymore blues band and Waylons half brother Tommy Jennings. I have a yellow shirt just like Bo's and the play station 2 Return of The General Lee game. Dukes made me a country music fan also.1 point -
Other '77 Dodge Monacos in the show?
CooterNnancylou reacted to Andrew D Charger Chaser for a topic
Hey y'all, I found this question interesting when I first came across it some time back...so I've been keeping track as I've been playing through the entire series. If you mean specifically 77 Monacos, I found the villains drove one in the episode "Dead and Alive" (S6 E14). This one started out a beige color, then in the storyline was repainted blue to hide. It's the one Cooter discovered was the one they were looking for when he had to repair some collision damage and found the light color underneath. If you expand to include the same body type with the Plymouth Furys (round-light) you'll find a ton of them in Season 4. Here's what I've found, only missing E7: -Plymouth Fury, blue, owned by Cooter in S1 E3 Mary Kaye’s Baby -Plymouth Fury, green, driven by villains (Mr. & Mrs. Roby) in S3 E15 To Catch a Duke -Earlier (4-round across) driven by Hobie the town drunk S3 E19 Bye, Bye Boss -Plymouth Fury, blue, driven by Private Investigator, S3 E20 The Great Hazzard Hijack -Plymouth Fury, 2-tone brown, driven by Jamie Lee Hogg in S4 E1 Mrs. Daisy Hogg -Plymouth Fury, light blue, driven by fur thieves in S4 E10 Trouble at Cooter’s -Plymouth Fury, brown, driven by NASCAR drivers Boss hired in S4 E11 Goodbye General Lee -2 Plymouth Furys; blue driven by villains, white driven by U.S. Postal Inspector in S4 E18 Miz Tisdale on the Lam -Plymouth Fury, black, driven by villains in S4 E19 Nothin’ But the Truth -Plymouth Fury, blue, driven by villains in S4 E20 Dear Diary -Plymouth Fury, black, driven by villains in S4 E21 New Deputy in Town -Plymouth Fury, black, driven by villains in S4 E22 Birds Gotta Fly -Plymouth Fury, white, driven by villains in S4 E23 Bad Day in Hazzard -Plymouth Fury, black, driven by villains in S4 E25 Share and Share Alike -’77 Dodge Monaco used by villains (started episode light beige color, then repainted blue in the storyline), S6 E14 Dead and Alive1 point -
The Patrol Cars In Pictures
CooterNnancylou reacted to HossC for a topic
Sorry for the delay in adding to this list, but I've been concentrating on other threads. The rest of season 2 didn't yield anything worth mentioning (unless I missed something). You wait ages for a different patrol car, and then two come along in the same episode - in this case 'Baa, Baa White Sheep'. The first is the red and white Finchburg patrol car. The other appears at the end of the episode. It's a more standard black and white State Police car. Both are 1977/78 Dodge Monacos. No light bar on this one. It's the 1972 AMC Matador driven by the US Marshall in 'Along Came a Duke'. Rosco's 'camo' patrol car in 'The Great Hazzard Hijack' is another 1977/78 Monaco. Only in Hazzard would they camouflage a car and then add a lightbar and shiny gold decals. I haven't forgotten the appearance of Sheriff Little's patrol car in 'My Son, Bo Hogg'. Because it appears in many episodes I'm waiting for a clearer picture.1 point -
The Patrol Cars In Pictures

Also in 'Deputy Dukes' we get to see the Springville County patrol cars. These are the only shots I could get, but they appear to be 1973 Dodge Polaras. These look like New York City patrol cars of that era, and I think there may even be residue from the old decals on the door. This one isn't strictly a patrol car, but it's driven by the Tri-Counties Bonding Company guards in 'Money to Burn'. It's a 1971 AMC Matador. The last patrol car from season 1 belongs to Choctaw County. It's a 1975/76 Dodge Coronet. Considering that they created three of these cars, it was hard to get a clear picture. The roof is white over a light brown body. The decals are identical to the Hazzard cars except that it says 'Choctaw County Sheriff' under the door badge (briefly visible when the car rolls over). The car also has the squarer style lightbar.1 point -
Hazzard Square
CooterNnancylou reacted to HossC for a topic
In 'Arrest Jesse Duke' the car strippers run 'Dixie Auto Supply Inc.' from building #1. This shot shows Bo, Luke and Daisy pulling up at the side of the store. This is the back entrance to the auto parts store. I'm pretty sure it's not at the back of building #1. The impound yard from season 1 (near building #24) had a corrugated steel fascia similar to this, so it may have been filmed there. The chase away from the auto parts store goes down the road past Boss's house. We don't ususally get to see this far down the road due to the sound stage at the end of it!.1 point
