Notes: Dukes of Hazzard

   

ERTL milked the Dukes of Hazzard franchise for all it was worth, issuing at least five varieties of this white 1980 Dukes of Hazzard Bonneville.
I acquired the one on the right end of the second row above as part of a group lot that I bought for something else,
and had no interest in a white police car or anything related to the Dukes at the time, so I set it aside.

Later, as my standards weakened, I integrated it into my collection. When I photographed it for this display I realized
how awful that yellowed decal looks, and decided to see if I could upgrade it for a reasonable price.

I was pleased to find the one in the top row. NOTE that its design is baked on, not a cheap decal. Much better.

Notes: Dukes of Hazzard

I acquired this one for its red light bar, not noticing that it has no "HAZZARD" text.
It was sold to me as a Hazzard car, but I don't know if it really qualifies. Still, it's in nice condition, and I like it.
