Even when it comes to relatively useless trivia, knowledge is power. So, in the name of gearhead knowledge, we present to you the 5 most iconic cars in television and everything you need to know about them. Some of these cars are instantly recognizable like Dukes of Hazzard`s General Lee.
However, not many people knew that during production there were more than 300 different vehicles used for flips, crashes and jumps. In 2001, two collectors managed to get their hands on the first ever General Lee that was used in Episode 1. They restored it and netted 110,000 thousand dollars at auction.
There are also other insane facts about the `57 Plymouth Fury which was used in the horror TV Show by Stephen King – Christine. Up to 24 vehicles were bought for the movie`s production, but only two of them survived filming. All of the sounds that were made by the Fury were not exactly accurate. In fact, they were dubbed by a `70 Super Cobra. Stephen King has stated that the Fury was perfect for this movie because of its menacing look. We definitely can`t disagree with that one. There are also other insane facts about the DeLorean, K.I.T.T, and the supercars from Miami Vice. Check out the video below and find out how these 5 most iconic cars became TV gold.
Here is a funny comparison between the General Lee and 2011 Dodge Charger!
