On October 11, 2000, Gary Schneider and Travis Bell met Don Shishler in Cummings, GA. Don had some fascinating stories to tell: he told to Gary and Travis the story that a man named Cliff hauled away all the cars that were used in the Dukes episodes when they had completed filming. Don hadn't talked to Cliff in years, but volunteered to call him anyway: Cliff wasn't at home, but his wife told Don that most of those cars had long since been crushed, but she did say that there was an old Charger out there that wasn't orange, but that it did have a 71 on the door. During the first 5 episodes of "The Dukes of Hazzard" series, the Lee1 was repainted in blue and the 71 numbers were painted on the doors. Gary and Travis had discovered what remained of the first General Lee ever built, the LEE1...
   During the past few weeks, Paul Dengel (zed4130) wrote me that an english guy was selling on eBay a diorama of how the Lee1 was found by Gary Schneider and Travis Bell. Needless to say that at the end I won the auction and now this beautiful model is in my collection! I take this opportunity to thank Paul and David (the guy who created this diorama).
