Skipper Duke Posted May 6 Posted May 6 I like that sound when the Dukes shift the General Lee gears. The motor goes vroom vroom. Anybody else like that sound too? Quote
Skipper Duke Posted May 10 Author Posted May 10 I have discovered through rewatches, it's not just the General Lee. Daisy's Road Runner, even the patrol cars make that sound sometimes. Wow! Quote
HossC Posted May 10 Posted May 10 In the commentary to 'And in This Corner, Luke Duke', they talk about how the cars they used had automatic transmissions when they were supposed to be stick. The gear shifting sounds were probably dubbed from a stick. They also say that they drove everything from 318s to 440s. Cathy asks asks if some of the 440s had a Hemi shifter. Tom tries to correct her by saying "Hertz shifter", but I think he meant Hurst shifter. Either way, John says on the commentary that they all had slap shifters. Skipper Duke 1 Quote
Skipper Duke Posted May 15 Author Posted May 15 Did y'all know that the sound of the General Lee was taken from the 1968 Steve McQueen movie Bullitt? Quote
