Luke's is a Martin Cougar II Bo's is a Martin Warthog arrows were also supplied by Martin. Martin supplied bows throughout the series and they change a bit through the years. I can't seem to find my link, but somewhere on line the guy from Martin talks about getting the bows put together at the last minute for the TV show (short notice) , you won't find a warthog or a cougar II with the writing like that on the limbs, it was literally added with K-mart mailbox lettering on the way to bring them to filming to get the Martin name on there for the show. https://www.facebook.com/DukesMuseumCollectibles/posts/this-is-an-exact-replicia-of-a-martin-cougar-ii-compound-bow-that-luke-duke-used/848795665185608/

In the first season, the equipment was supplied by Martin Archery (their name appears in the end credits of each episode). You can see Luke using a Martin Cougar in the opening scene of 'Daisy's Song' (below). If I remember correctly, Bo's bow was a Martin Warthog.

Here's the Mean Green Machine from season 5. For those of you that don't watch the Coy and Vance episodes, it first appeared in 'The New Dukes', and returned in 'The Return of the Mean Green Machine'. This was one of the easiest projects so far due to the body being mainly straight lines, although I only had screengrabs to go by. Like the camo patrol car I did recently, the paint job is not indended to be an exact copy, I was just going for the general look and feel. I based this version on its second appearance in 'The Return of the Mean Green Machine'. The only differences (that I spotted) are the wider flap on the front to allow for the magnet, and the scoop and spiked wheels are rustier.
