SEVENTEEN GENERAL LEES
IN AUGUST OF 1989 I HAD A MEETING WITH WARNER BROTHERS AT THEIR OFFICE IN BURBANK CA. DURING THIS MEETING AMONG THE MANY THINGS DISCUSSED TWO THINGS WERE PARAMOUNT TO THEM.
ONE: THEY HAD NEVER SOLD OR RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC ANY GENERAL LEE, POLICE CAR, BOSS OR DAISY VEHICLE FROM THE TV SERIES. THAT ANY CLAIMS TO THE CONTRARY ARE LIES. (WARNER BROTHERS NEVER AUTHORIZED THE RELEASE OR SALE OF ANY CARS PRIOR TO THE RELEASE OF THE SEVENTEEN).
TWO: WARNER BROTHERS STATED THAT ANY CAR CLAIMED TO BE AUTHENTIC FROM THE SHOW OTHER THAN THE ONES RELEASED TO WAYNE WOOTEN WOULD BE EITHER STOLEN OR A FAKE.
WARNER BROTHERS WANTED THESE TWO POINTS TO BE SO CLEAR THAT THEY DEMANDED AS A CONDITION OF THE RELEASE OF THE SEVENTEEN CARS THAT A CLAUSE IN THE CONTRACT STATE THAT THE CARS LISTED BELOW ARE THE ONLY ONES LEGALLY RELEASED. (THEY CONTRACTED!) THIS AS A STATEMENT OF FACT IN A LEGAL DOCUMENT.
