Yeah,  I’ve read before that originally it was the Road Runner that they started having trouble finding replacement parts for. So, they switched to the Satellite.  However, eventually for whatever reason they started having trouble finding parts for it too...although neither car were that old at the time & I find it hard to believe that the Chrysler Corporation didn’t have parts to order if needed. People seem to find parts nowadays, when restoring or fixing them up.
I think you’re right...the decision to destroy the Plymouth Satellite was to showcase the new Jeep. To each his or her own...but I seriously disagree with that decision. Daisy should have kept the Satellite.
The image of the Satellite you posted looks to be from IMCDb (even if someone posted it on Flickr, as well). I too have tried using the pic, but no matter where I get it from, this site always says it’s too big. This is the only fansite I have trouble posting photos on sometimes. I’m not sure how you got it to work?? 

I’m not gonna lie... I do not care for Season 2’s “The Runaway”. I remember watching this one when it originally aired. I never cared for the plot...but, the worst aspect was losing Daisy’s 1971 Plymouth Satellite Sebring Coupe!  
I loved that car, 2nd only to General Lee...but, the story goes that supposedly they found it hard to find replacement parts for the Satellite (although the car was barely 9 years old at the time? ) & Jeep offered the show some new 1980 models to showcase, so they had Daisy’s Plymouth destroyed by running it over a cliff.   
Then they bring in this dorky (my opinion) white Jeep called ‘Dixie’.  Daisy finishes out the show with the Jeep (a couple different model years were used throughout the show’s run), but I will always love the Satellite best!!   (Note: the episode “Arrest Jesse Duke” aired 2 episodes before this, and for whatever reason/s was aired out of order...as Daisy already had Dixie with no explanation.)
I’d add a photo of the Satellite, but no matter what pic (of anything or anyone) I try to add, it always says it’s supposedly too big.  

I think it was the '73 Road Runner that they had trouble getting parts for, despite it being a later model. I'm pretty sure that the decision to switch to the Jeep was mainly because of the sponsorship, although it also meant that we got to see more of Cathy's legs!
 
You should probably check out image hosting sites. Flickr lets you host up to 1,000 images for free.

Here's a picture of the Satellite (which they painted to look like the later Road Runner):


 

Maybe so...in Hazzard, anything was possible.

Cousin MonacoMan... I got it. Maybe all the water Rosco always jumped the car into was only ring around the collar deep like in R. I. P. Henry Flatt?

Absolutely! 

Absolutely! 

Sometimes imperfections are what makes something perfect. 

I suppose, lol. Also, character or even storyline continuity wasn’t exactly what “Dukes” was focused on, either. 

No, Rosco wouldn’t lie...in that kind of situation, lol! But, overall it just seemed odd considering how many times he ended up in ponds or rivers & was never scared or freaked out in those times. 

Cousin MonacoMan yep!

Although there are also others that definitely qualify for the spooky aspects,  and I’ll get to them eventually, because it is nearing the fall and Halloween season, I decided to rewatch “Ghost of General Lee”. 
I remember watching this one when it originally aired as a kid, and I’ll never forget it! It actually tugged at some very genuine heart strings and emotions, and was very popular at the time! 
However, one thing that I’ve not really ever given much thought before until now, is towards the beginning when they think the Duke boys have gone into & drowned in the pond, Rosco makes the comment that he can’t swim! What??  How many times did he go into ponds himself...and have no trouble getting out? 
I find that statement pretty silly & non-believable...especially for DOH! But, I guess we’re supposed to just go with it for this one episode.  Overall it’s one of my favorites...as a kid & as an adult.

Definitely in my top 5!

There were still a few good episodes at the end...but there were also ridiculous ones that hurt the show. And, ridiculous jumps with using fake models didn’t help. All these factors contributed to the end. But, the legacy of the show overall lives on!  

Watched this one again last night...this is still one of my favorite episodes! Perfect season premiere!! 

Good question but I bet it had something to do with Boss scamming them somehow. Having to make the mortgage payment on time was always a good foundation to write an episode. Or maybe a bunch of things just came up all at once and they had to borrow from Boss....well run dry and had to drill a new one, tractor broke down, had to buy seed corn for planting season, roof sprung a leak. When it rains it pours.

I said the alien episode but now that you mention it, it might have been the robot ep too. I can't remember where I heard that. Maybe Hoss will shed some light on that tomorrow. It's probably 3 in the morning over there now. 

Are you saying Uncle Jesse's truck didn't really jump over that moving train in season 7? Are you saying they were just scale models. Sorry, but I'm not believing you. 

I'm out of reactions but this one deserves a ❤ so I'll put it down here. 

I was watching Duck Dynasty for awhile there but there is no show that I care about anymore. I watch "Kudlow". It's a financial show..  Thank goodness for the classic TV channels and DVDs. Lately I've been youtubing motorcycles...mostly dirt bike stuff. 

Good to hear from you again MonacoMan.
