Nice job. Oddly enough, my friend & I were just talking about Roscoe P. Coltrane today.

Ok, what we all REALLY want to see is a diorama with The General flying across about 6 feet above the roof of Roscoe P, with himself on the radio describing the "hot pursuit"

Hello Jet007,

Here's the real deal, or one of the many cars they used for the show. Sadly I can't remember where these were taken, I think back East in either PA or Ohio. Anyways, enjoy!

that must be a replica type show car someone put together.

Hello Jet007,

You might be correct. One has to remember that for a production that large they had to keep a pretty big fleet of cars on hand. I read somewhere they had up to 8 Gen. Lees that where used for different scenes, chases, etc. and about the same for the Hazard County sheriff cars. The recent "Auto Trader" ads they had to bring in 2 auto carriers rigs loaded to film the ads.

Here's six on trailer for the series.

yep, that's pretty much correct except I have caught a couple of stunt sequences where Coronets were used. presumably they didn't have enough Monacos that they were willing to destroy. Same goes for the Charger - in one crash scene they used a '68! Same with the Ateam - in one van launch sequence they used a '72 Econoline painted in the A team colours!
