Last of the Year!

The Fall weather has been unseasonably hot so far this year (record breaking temperatures in the mid-90s) & it was very warm & sunny for the last car show of the year at Fenton. There was the usual good selection of vehicles on display with the line of cars to get into the parking lot getting longer by the minute. Beth came with me which was really nice & there seemed to be more 'girly' coloured cars than usual so she was happy. The Dukes of Hazzard was a big show here in the 1980s & still has a large following with re-runs constantly played on CMT & a yearly 'Dukesfest' show held further down south. Ben Jones (who played Cooter) has his own shop & museum dedicated to 'The Dukes'. It was really cool to see not only a replica of The General Lee (or perhaps it was one of the cars used in the series as they were sold off when filming finished) but also Rosco's cop car. 'The General' was well detailed with all the correct accessories including the CB & 'whip' type aerial, roll cage, & Hazzard County plates, plus it had also been signed by the original cast members!
