GL's autograph

[JB400]

During the original airing of the DoH, a person could write into WB and get the General Lee's autograph.  Anyone have one?

I have a door handle from a General Lee.   Does that count.

I don't have a pic, but have seen one before, it was just a pic of the GL and across one of the lower corner of the pic, it had a tire track printed on it... that was the 'autograph'.

Haven't found an image of the actual postcard yet but apparently this is supposed to be whats printed on the back of them.

"The General Lee rolled off a Detroit assembly line in 1968 as a 1969 Dodge Charger, Ten Years later, Warner Bros. producers-looking for such a stock car that Bo Duke (John Schneider) and Luke Duke (Tom Wopat) would wheel and fly through every episode of "The Duke's Of Hazzard" Friday nights on CBS-TV- purchased the car for the new series. Bestowing gender and rank, they named him the General Lee, changed his color to a brilliant orange, put a confederate flag on his roof and painted a distinctive "01" on the side of both his doors. Equipped with a horn that toots the first twelve notes of "Dixie", the General Lee is powered by a 440 cubic inch Chrysler engine with an automatic transmission, chromed headers and valve cover with a 4-barrel carburetor and an aluminum intake manifold to boost acceleration. The frame is weighted at four strategic points and has been fitted with gas-type shock absorbers to keep the car level during impact landings and 180-degree turns. The General Lee sports 30″ Glass pak mufflers and Shelby rims that hold new radial tires with special inner tubes inserted. Since finding the General , Warner Bros.' band of mechanics have completely rebuilt him from the ground-up. Because he has become such a visible car on primetime television, with viewers writing in regularly for his picture, the General is probably the most famous automobile in America. All the actors and crew who work on "Dukes" at Warner Bros. fell affectionate toward 'him', as if he were a living being".

  seem to recall the one I saw , was different  ,  although soo long ago , I could well be remembering it wrong ( normally happens  )

Could have been more than one too.

Seems it'd be a cool collectable for those that have one, since not many fans have one.  Thanks for the info.

I have a couple of those around here somewhere. I have two different sizes..I am not sure if they did many different sizes over the years.
