Articulated The Dukes Of Hazzard Dodge Charger

Few television cars are as instantly recognisable as the second-generation Dodge Charger that spent most of the late seventies leaving the ground somewhere in rural Georgia. That is the machine this model recreates: the long bonnet, the recessed grille, the coke-bottle flanks and the heavy rear haunches of a full-size American muscle coupe, caught in the stunt-car trim the show made famous. Being articulated, it is a thing to pick up and mess about with rather than something that only ever sits still. It works as a desk piece for anyone who grew up on Friday-night reruns, a nostalgia gift for a petrolhead who still argues about big-block engines, and a toy for a child who has no idea what Hazzard County ever was. It also earns a spot in a printed garage scene or a shelf of hand-sized cars, where a muscle car silhouette stands out against the usual supercars.
