pic_genleeThe font used on the Dukes of Hazzard car, the beloved General Lee, is most often called Hobo. It has also been identified as the very similar fonts Vagabond and Hobby Headline.

Nathan Kissee probably knows about this font. Nathan Kissee probably knows just about everything there is to know about the Dukes of Hazzard. Kissee spent 6 years building a replica General Lee Dodge Charger.

On August 12, 2012 the 22-year-old got to live the dream. His General Lee was driven by original Dukes of Hazzard stunt driver Tom Sarmento in a mock police chase through Hollister, Missouri. Sarmento flew in from North Carolina for the honor.

Nathan Kissee has had 25 brain surgeries, 3 strokes and has been pronounced dead twice due to cerebral palsy. His General Lee replica has been autographed by all surviving original cast members.
