XYHARRY Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Great concept Michelle, that falcon tow truck of Cooter's looks awesome. For Boss Hog's car may I suggest the 1977 Ford Fairlane LTD. Sadly we didn't have any home grown luxury convertibles. Well done and I look forward to the next instalment. Cheers, David. 😎👍

Cheers, David. 😎👍 G’day David, Boss Hog drove a Cadillac didn’t he? It’d have to be a GM product, so I guess an HZ Statesman Caprice could fit the bill. Nice work on the XK ute Michelle and I’d be interested to see what cars an Australianised Dukes of Hazzard might drive. 1
