The first Generals were painted Hemi-orange, a real life Mopar color that a '69 Charger could have come from the factory with. However, over the years they used quite a few different oranges to paint the General Lee, Hugger probably being one of them. Also, depending on how much paint they had available, how quickly they needed a car to be ready, etc, etc., they would mix whatever oranges they had on hand so a General could have ended up Hemi or Hugger or a number of other oranges or any mixture thereof (all of them being fairly close to the original Hemi-orange). So while some Generals were Hugger orange, "the" General was not. If you have to pick a "the" General Lee color, I would go with the original Hemi-orange. But since Warner Brothers didn't care, you shouldn't either. For authenticity, all you need to do is pick a color close to Hemi-orange

This is basically my idea.

This is kind of interesting. Have you noticed that roughly 95% of the comments here have been about the General? Seems that more attention is given to the General than anything else in the movie. Fact is, most of the movie is forgetable, other than the General's scenes. Well....let's not forget about Daisy Duke. Hmmmmmm!

Daisy originally drove a yellow 1973 Plymouth Roadrunner, until the brakes went when Bo and Luke were driving it in the 2nd season episode 'The Runaway' and it went over a cliff - with them getting out just in time. At the end of that episode, she got her white jeep, called 'Dixie'.

BRG3 why would you want to hot rod a 4 door sedan? That to me is almost sacreligious. Almost as bad as putting glasspaks on a six cylinder or heaven forbid a 4 cylinder.

I need 4 doors to tie down the stuff I tie down to cars. And frankly I like 4 doors.

Sounds like you need a Mercury Marauder or the Ford version of the same car BRG3. FWIW, the last figure I heard from one of the movie publisists was 37 Chargers wasted to make this POS movie. That being said, Both Daisy Dukes are a gift from God although I'm still partial to Catherine Bach!

I liked the movie myself, almost as good as the original. http://imdb.com/title/tt0071854/

kinda along the same subject...am i alone in thinking that dodge didnt do such a hot job designing the new charger's? to me it seems for them to take the name of such a legendary car like the charger and slap it on a car that is nearly indistinguishable from every other bland car on the road is just plain wrong. the new one is an ok looking car and priced pretty good(dont get me wrong) but when i heard they were gonna make chargers again i half expected for them to design a car that paid respect to what in my mind is one of the hottest looking cars ever built...the 69 charger.

I saw the movie yesterday. I loved it. I couldn't stop laughing for two hours after. I thought they did a great job picking the cast. My favorite part was Willy telling jokes as he hurled molatov cocktails at the chasing cops.
